The District has embarked on centralization of assistive software previously provided to students only through DSPS or to employees via the ADA process. This software includes the Texthelp suite of apps (Read&Write, EquitIO, and ObritNote), Kurzweil, Dragon Naturally Speaking, JAWS, and ZoomText. This increases access to those who may need this technology by simply making it available to all. This session will give a status update on the overall project as well as a brief overview of each app and, time permitting, how to access the app.
