It is also useful for some students with other reading problems since it has degrees of magnification and sometime enlarging the text help the student with reading and/or focus. It's easy to use also.

Reasonably priced. I sampled the program and intended on buying it for such a student but alas the student never returned despite repeated phoncon. The program allowed the student to select the degree of magnification necessary. At the time this was the most technologically advanced system that I could find. It allowed for full screen magnification, overlay, movable lens, horiz or vertical split, all controlled quite easily by student buttons. You might check with the address I have off the demo package here: Ai Squared, POBox 669, Manchester Center, VT, 05255-0669. Ph 802-362-3612 fax 802-362-1670. Good luck. art Art LaChance Gilmer Learning Center Ellijay, Ga Adult Education wrote: > What resources are available for GED students who are visually impaired and > are in need of large print or other accommodation? > > What strategies might be appropriate for such a student?
