Accessibility and Disability Resources

This information was sent out in an email to POWR-L by Ken Pope.


Today I updated and expanded the "Assistive Technology for Computers &Printed Material" section of the *Accessibility & Disability Information & Resources in Psychology Training & Practice* web site.


This section provides descriptions of and links to software and hardwareresources that people with disabilities can use to work more effectivelywith computers or printed materials.
These assistive technologies include screen readers, talking webbrowsers, printed text readers, braille translators (text-to-braille and braille-to-text), text-to-voice software to put books into audio formats (for CDs, iPods, etc.), screen magnifiers, special computer keyboards,and technology that allows control of a computer through head movements or eye movements.

The Accessibility & Disability Information & Resources in Psychology Training & Practice web site is at:<http://kpope.com/> Please forward this announcement to any lists or individuals who mightbe interested in these resources.
