Just found Read Regular that advertises using different typeface for people with dyslexia. It was very revealing to see how people with dyslexia see the written word. There are so many new and exciting technologies to assist people that have problems. I wonder if changing the typeface will work. Could it be such a simple fix? I think it is wonderful if it is.
There are sites that offer assistive technologies for visually impaired. Assistive Media is a non profit organization that creates audio versions of the written word. Some of the articles come from the New Yorker. The extensive list can be individually downloaded to an ipod. Soundportriats.org is another great site with radio shows available for your listening pleasure all from National Public Radio (NPR). I am considering purchasing an iPod to listen to all these great programs.
The Assitive Technology Podcast can be subscribed to. It discusses all the latest assistive technologies available. There is so much available online if only you take the time to explore and verify your sites. Everyone has something to share.
