Ronald Hideshima

Adaptive Technology Instructor

Ron Hideshima was raised in Japan, and moved to the U.S. in 1979. In 1986 Ron was blinded in an automobile accident. The Hatlen Center hired Ron in the year 2000 to take charge of our adaptive technology lab. In addition to being wonderful with the students, Ron taught himself how to use every piece of adaptive software and hardware available and continues to learn new technology as it becomes available. Ron also maintains all the equipment in his beloved lab, networks with experts all over the country, helps students obtain equipment from the Department of Rehabilitation, and works hard to keep our lab on the cutting edge. Ron has single-handedly turned our tech lab into one of the crown jewels of The Hatlen Center.
