At our school we have got a visually impaired student. I was wondering what other technicains within schoolsdo to help them.

So any help would be appreciated.

We use windows 7 clients and the server is using windows 2008 R2

We have a couple of 27" flat panels that we move around with student as they progress through the school. The Windows magnification tool gets used quite a lot and in the past it used to be visually impaired software called Magic.

There is a program called Textaloud that will convert any text to spoken word, also for magnification ZoomText works well. If you have any questions please let me know

Give The Toynbee School in chandlers ford a call, they have a large VI department as part of the secondary school and use a multitude of different IT software and devices. Amazing what they get out of the kids!
