Inclusion Aids
The computers in our Computer Typing Area all have Microsoft Word installed. The text can be magnified for students with low vision. Given adequate support staff, we could help students with low vision save files from electronic resources to disk,and open them in Word. Word has a feature which lets you enlarge the size of the text on your screen, thus enabling vision impaired students to work with the information. Videos and audio cassette tapes are also good for inclusion.
