Have just received this information which I thought might be use to others:

 

Improving access to IT for people with disabilities

 

Below is a resource with new, recently updated information about assistive technologies designed for people who have a disability. It is practical and helps address problems whereby new technologies can sometimes be inaccessible. Examples include:

  • technology that allows control of a computer through head movements or eye
  • movements
  • braille translators (text-to-braille and braille-to-text)
  • video message system for recording a personal American Sign Language outgoing
  • message, to receive ASL messages, and to leave ASL messages for others (PCs, Macs, iPhones, Androids, iPads, etc.)
  • screen magnifiers; screen readers
  • talking web browsers; printed text readers
  • text-to-voice software to put books into audio formats (for CDs, iPods, etc.)
  • special computer keyboards
  • augmentative & alternative communication (AAC) devices

 

Resources can be accessed here: http://kpope.com/assistech/index.php

 

This is part of wider resource on Accessibility and Disability Information and Resources in Psychology and Training and Practice. The site is American, and while not all references are applicable to people living outside the USA, the tools are universal (and not discipline specific). See: http://kpope.com/index.php
