The collection offers organisations and individuals crucial starting points to add access functionality to Windows beyond those features built into the operating system.
Solutions include NVDA and Thunder Screenreaders, Virtual Magnifying glass, Vu-Bar, screen tinter lite etc all of which have been tried and tested across many users including schools, colleges, learning centres, offices and in the home.
AbilityNet would want to acknowledge the many authors of software who have generously given permission to distribute – AbilityNet are not charging for their software only for the costs of collation, testing and distribution.

AccessFun
Many disabled children are unable to take part in computer gaming, an experience that is a part of the experience of the majority of their peers. To overcome this AbilityNet have created AccessFun, a pendrive made up of games, music, utilities and storybooks for disabled young people. The pendrive offers over 50 applications to entertain and amuse kids of any ability.
Amongst the collection are arcade games for single switch users, games for the blind, animated stories and single switch activated songs. The collection draws upon the very best of what is available on the web and makes it easily accessible through a menu system. Whilst not all resources will work on all computers or with all switch interfaces there really is something for everyone here.
AbilityNet need to especially thank the authors of the software and those who helped us find the resources to make them available. Special thanks to Pete Wells and Priory Woods School, Richard Walters of Meldreth Manor and Barrie Ellis at One Switch.org
