Assistive Technologies

Here are two screenshots of me demonstrating the use of assistive technology tools provided by Microsoft Window Vista.

In the bottom of this screenshot is the on-screen keyboard. The on-screen keyboard would be useful for someone who could only operate a mouse and could not use a traditional keyboard.

















This second picture shows the screen magnifier in use. This is good for someone with limited vision who is not blind, but cannot see the small print on a screen.
















These are only two of the many options Microsoft Windows has in order to be handicap accessible for people with a variety of disabilities.
