Adaptations & effective instruction

  • Adjust Windows accessibility settings to enlarge and brighten the mouse/cursor.
    This improves visibility and helps track movement on screen.

  • Use zoom/magnifier tools and large icon settings. This enhances readability and ease of navigation.

  • Provide a high-contrast large print keyboard (e.g., TechSilver). This supports accurate typing and reduces visual effort.

  • Set device display to high contrast (e.g., black/white or black/yellow). This increases clarity and reduces glare for better screen access.
