Accessibility Tools

 In school settings, one way to learn about accessibility is in a classroom. In this specific we are talking about accessibility tools and how they can help a student. For starters, text-to-audiobooks. For someone like me who struggles with re-reading a sentence multiple times and having to start over when reading, an app like Speechify can simply create an audiobook out of anything. This is great for those who struggle with reading, even on computers, or just need to hear the text. 

Moving on we have note-taking apps. This is very simple. This is for students who specifically need to put a thought to the side. Or even need to jot down notes while reading or writing an assignment. Apps like this can be used on computers by opening the app and having it open just in case a thought comes by. Most computer brands like MacBooks already come with this installed. Notes, which can be found on your dock or in the launchpad. 

Time management applications, these apps can be used by not just children but for teachers, parents, etc. Apps like Flora are a focusing app. By planting a tree on the ap,p you can grow it by completing tasks you have planned. This requires not being on the phone to do them, and once a task is done,e you can mark it in the app and watch the plant grow. Other apps like Remember the Mik, are to help organizations. It helps you with setting reminders about a text or email. Or if you needed to call someone later. As I mentioned before, most computers or even phones come with these base-type apps installed. Much like Apple phones and laptops, which have a reminder app.

Visual Applications. Visual applications are normally designed to help the more visually impaired people of the world. I have used slight visual applications. Similar to test-taking in school, I had the background of my test change colors because the white background would bother my eyes. And using the size part to make the font bigger so it's easier to read.

Other smaller things such as using a planner. Most people like myself struggle with staying on task, so things like a planner help. Same with Online calculators. Especially a site like Desmos. They help you understand graphing way better. You can simply put a math problem in and Desmos can plant it on a graph for you.
