What is this Page?
You may have contacted SAS or filled out our Self-Id form. You may be here because you had an IEP in high school, or you're simply looking for ways to improve your studies. Whatever your reasons and whatever tools you use, this page is here to educate you on some assistive technology that you already have access to.
Nipissing University provides all students with access to Microsoft Office 365, which includes powerful built-in accessibility features in apps like Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote. We’ll highlight some of those tools here.
We also recognize that most students rely heavily on their phones, so we’ve included useful accessibility features available on both iOS and Android devices.
Note: Assistive Technology may not be appropriate for all courses and classroom setups. Please contact SAS, your Instructor, or both to discuss the appropriate use or challenges you may be having with assistive technology within your course.
