Assistive+Technology

==== **There are so many things that are available to students with special needs. Things include voice recognition software, text to speech software and many, many others. Many things can be changed on a computer to allow for greater accessability for students or adults with special needs.** ====

If you need to change some of the preset settings on your home computer to make it easier to use for you or your child it only takes a few simple steps.
1. On your computer's start menu select the control panel icon. 2. Look for an icon labled accessability options. (If you have your computer set up in a list format it will say accessability options.) Once you click the icon you will be able to change the computer's settings to meet your individual needs. 3. You can change the screen resolution, size of text, voice controls, and much more. Find what works for you.


 * There are also an extensive number of websites that have assistive technology available for purchase. I have put links to a few pages but if you can't find what you are looking for on these, you can do an internet search for assistive technology. **
