With so many apps and software tools available for our technology today, it is sometimes difficult to know what might work for an individual. But wait ..... what about built in accessibility features? These supports are built into every computer and mobile device platform, yet many people don’t know what they already have! Let's dive deep into the built in accessibility features of your devices (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Chromebook) to explore options to support individuals in the area of reading, writing, vision, physical access and more!

There are some basic skills related to assistive technology that are important to master. One is how to use a PDF to it's fullest and another is using audio and video to engage students. The below videos highlight some of these skills.

Before you jump to complicated supports please support students in making Google work better for their needs.
