Macs and Students with Dyslexia

[bluehobbit]

Need some advice on this - wasnt sure where it was best posted:

 

When our students are assessed by our ALS department they are often given a specific colourd background that helps them read text. So for some students its Yellow others Green etc. On our windows platform we can then make a change to the users profile so that when they login to a PC applications like MSWord automatically load up with the correct colour background and text combination.

Has anyone done anything similar with a Mac? Ideally we only want the change to effect the relevant student but we are not sure how to do this. Or maybe a free utility that would allow them to do something simelar? Thanks

I've heard Nocturne being bandied about for Macs, but haven't used it and don't know what it would be like on a network.

 

EDIT

Just found this one as well: Screen shades
