Disability Support: Personalisation of my device

 Microsoft accessibility

Microsoft divides its accessibility tools into six areas - vision, hearing, neurodiversity, learning, mobility and mental health.  Immersive reader in Microsoft Edge is a popular tool which simplifies webpage layouts, removes clutter and has a Read Aloud option so you can listen instead of read text.

You can also ask their Accessibility Bot (in Teams) a question to discover which Microsoft features exist to support your way of learning. 

 Apple accessibility

Apple accessible support is divided into five sections: Speech, Vision, Hearing, Mobility and Cognitive.

There is a wide range of features, including text to speech, vocal shortcuts and setting up your device to help with cognitive overload.  

Accessibility options can be found in Settings under General - Accessibility. 

 Android accessibility

Accessibility features on Androids are accessed under the Settings menu.

There are options to include a screenreader (TalkBalk), changing the display and text, giving information about your surroundings, magnification and captioning.
