AbilityNet Factsheets

AbilityNet Blog

AbilityNet’s Factsheets are written by our specialist team of assessors and accessibility consultants and give detailed information on a wide range of assistive technology, services and related organisations. Many give a step by step guide to help you set up your computer and software (assistive technology) to meet your individual requirements. We also offer free access to My Computer My Way, which leads you on-screen through the options available on your own computer.
