The aim of this guide is to promote awareness of open source and freeware Windows applications that can be used to support learners with additional needs. The overall collection of more than 50 programs is called AccessApps. In many cases, the programs on AccessApps are very similar in functionality to well-known commercial products.
The guide, which has been specially prepared for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA Assessors), is split into 7 sections: mind mapping, colour preferences, dictionary and thesaurus, text-to-speech, word prediction, visual support and voice recognition. Each section provides detailed information on 14 typical AccessApps applications.
