“JAWS, Job Access With Speech, is the world’s most popular screen reader, developed for computer users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen content or navigating with a mouse. JAWS provides speech and Braille output for the most popular computer applications on your PC. You will be able to navigate the Internet, write a document, read an email and create presentations from your office, remote desktop, or from home.” -Freedom Science Team

Providing accommodations for students whose vision loss prevents them from being able to interact fully, allows them to still learn and get involved. There are multiple different things you can do with JAWS that allows the student to participate.

• speech and sound
• braille
• convenient ORC
• text analyzer

This is such a great way to keep students involved in the schools, no matter the disability there is always an accommodation thanks to modern technology!

Thanks!
