Built-in Chromebook Tools for Dyslexia
Students with dyslexia struggle with foundational academic tasks like reading and writing that can hinder their progress and lower their self-confidence—and it’s not uncommon. Fortunately, since so many schools now provide a Chromebook for every student, there are free and easy-to-use assistive technology tools that are already built into every Chromebook. You just have to know where to look!
LTVEC provides back-to-school AT support for its districts
Assistive Technology Resources Available to Support Remote Instruction for Students with Disabilities.

The assistive technology staff at LTVEC is ready and waiting to help you provide adaptive access for remote instruction with your students.
Microsoft Accessibility for Special Education Distance Learning
Part 1: The Three R’s
Distance learning in special education can feel like an insurmountable challenge. And while we may not be able to replicate the full school experience at home, there are tools—FREE tools—available that can help you provide differentiation and inclusion. If you are working in a Microsoft school or even if you just like to use Microsoft products such as Windows 10 or Office 365, there are many built-in accessibility features that can help meet the needs of your students.

Chromebooks and Accessibility Supports
As more districts more toward the use of Chromebooks for 1:1 device use, there are always questions about how these devices can provide the accessibility supports needed by our students with physical and/or learning disabilities. Since Chromebooks don't allow for installation of software programs (the usual source of specialized reading/writing support), assistive tools must come from apps and extensions that can modify the user interface.
