Along with flexibility
adaptations, computers from Apple and Microsoft also provide additional system
features to ease applications, providing individual requirements to be met.
Many changeable features allow the student to avoid frustration when completing
tasks, while also preventing the spending of additional money on another
adaptation device. Many system features allow changes in keyboard and mouse
usage, for learners who have cerebral palsy, or access to using only one hand,
these adaptations provide fluency and ease of frustration. Within the computer
systems, modifications are also apparent for students who have sensory
deficiencies. Visual signs, contrast of color brightness, screen magnification,
enlarged mouse pointer, and audio voice selection all meet the needs of
students who have visual and hearing impairments.
