to any person, accessibility can mean something different. Whether someone needs a ramp or an elevator to move around, a note taker, someone to help them in the classroom, or even a pair of glasses. No matter your reason for needing help, these options and tools should be open for all to use should someone need them. Stockton offers several tools related to giving students accessibility to further enhance their learning.

Assistive Technology or AT, is used to refer to the accessibility toolbox at Stockton that are available to students. Lets start with a software called Rocketbook beacon. Rocketbook beacon allows the user to turn a physical whiteboard into a virtual one. This way you can better retain the information you have written down so that you can refer to the information even after you erase it. Stockton offers several beacons across campus to allow for this to happen.

Another software, Dragon Naturally Speaking helps people to create typed content by speaking aloud. This means that anyone who cannot use their hands to type, or finds it to be challenging, has another trick up their sleeve to get around this and instead focus on the content of what they are working on.

For people who may have bad eyesight, or need material to be read aloud to them, JAWS is available to help. JAWS is a screen reader that was actually made with those who are visually impaired in mind of the developers

Sonocent is a note taker that takes audio, text, and slides and coverts it into a workspace that is easier to navigate, making organization and task completion a task that can feel more achievable with the help of this tool.

With the help of these tools that Stockton provides to all students, Learning can be made more accessible to the people who may need or want it. Theres no downside to having a bit of help to get you to where you need to be academically.
