Assistive Technology

The Assistive Technology assignment that was asked to be completed was actually I feel the most hardest one we did all semester. Actually though it was very interesting to me. I did not know that some things on my computer existed, for example the magnifier. This is great for people who actually have a hard time seeing. I was very confused on how to get this to appear but I went to the help and support and it was a great way of teaching me how it needed to be done. The help and support was actually the only thing that saved me in this assignment. When you entered what you needed to know it told you step by step how to get to what you was looking for. I also like the part for people who are a low vision computer user as well. I did not know you could go in and make the contrast different on the site so it will be beneficial to whom ever it fits that is in need. The hearing impairment controls was actually a great one as well for children who can not hear to well then you just change the setting to fit their needs as well. Our technology today actually allows a person with any disability to be able to use a computer with no help at all. This also allows our special need children to get some kind of experience on the computers also. But like I said you may need a little help in finding out how to set the controls on the computer to fit that certain child's need but it is not hard to find out. Just a little time and patience is all that is needed.
