Assistive Technology for Barry Students with Disabilities

Students with disabilities sometimes require computer software, devices, or other technology. The Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) is committed to assisting students to obtain the technology and devices they need for optimal academic performance.

In general, the OAS does not provide technology or device support to students for personal or professional use. However, there are times when the nature of a student’s disability requires that s/he have such access to technology in order to function well at Barry. The Director of the OAS will work with students who have such circumstances to evaluate what is needed and to help the student obtain the software, device or mechanical support s/he requires.

OAS Computer-Based Assistive Programs

The OAS currently houses 5 computers for student use. Two of those computers have programs designed for people with visual and mobility impairments. The list of assistive computer programs at the OAS are:

Dragon Speak Naturally. A speech recognition software used to turn voice to text.
Jaws14.1. Screen enlargement software for people with low vision.

Free APPs

There are also text-to-voice APPs that may be downloaded for free. These programs offer a variety of features. They convert text to alternative formats, highlight, magnify, and provide text-to-speech in a variety of natural voices, languages, and pitches.

OAS Document Reader

The OAS has equipment designed to help people with low vision to enlarge and read documents, have documents read aloud, or display sentences line-by-line.

IT Support

The OAS works with IT Services at Barry to provide students with the technology they need on campus. For example, if a student who uses a wheelchair is prevented from attending class because of a problem with an elevator, the OAS can set up distance learning equipment that allows the student to attend class and participate via technology.

Mobility Support Devices

The OAS owns two Bobcat x3 scooters for student use when they are on campus (if the student agrees to and signs a Waiver/Release of Responsibility).
