Tools for assistive technology don't have to come expensive. Microsoft has created programs that are found on any Microsoft Vista PC that allow students to have free access to many assistive technology tools.
One tool that Vista makes for students that need assistance with reading or seeing, is the magnifying tool. It is free and can be easily found through the Control Panel. This allows students to view anything they want with a magnifying glass, making the words or the pictures bigger. You can see what you type in the magnifying box, as well as you can move the box to see what you are writing in a bigger format. This would be beneficial for students who are visually impaired and need help reading, or writing on a computer.
-- First go to the "Start"menu.
-- Then open up your "Control Panel"
-- After that click on "Ease of Access" to get to the next step
-- Click on "Ease of Access Center"
-- In the end click on start magnification in order to bring the magnifying glass up to the screen.
