Use what you already have

Phones, tablets and computers have many options built in which learners can use to enable access. The Make technology work for you resource is a series of short videos to show learners and staff how to get the most out of their technology.

Built-in options can also be part of the solution for learners who need assistance to write by using their voice, see their screen more clearly or physically access a device.

All staff should know how to adjust these settings. The Built-in Access course from TechAbility will give them the knowledge to ensure learners can access resources.
