Alternative Input and Output Devices


Alternative input and output devices are things such as: expanded keyboards, mini keyboards, one-handed keyboards, speech recognition, screen magnification, refreshable Braille, and Braille embossers. All of these items make computers more accessible for students with vision impairments and blindness. For example, screen magnification allows the screen text and images to be enlarged for a student to see the material better. A mini-keyboard allows students with motor impairments and limited movement to utilize the keyboard without having to move their fingers or hands a lot. Be sure to have training on how these devices allow your students to successfully complete the work you are giving.
