Assistive technologies are products used by people with disabilities to help accomplish tasks that they cannot accomplish otherwise or could not do so easily. Some assistive technologies rely on output of other user agents, such as graphical desktop browsers, text browsers, voice browsers, multimedia players and plug-ins.
Assistive technology comes in many different forms, some of these include:
- Alternative keyboards or switches
- Braille and refreshable Braille
- Screen magnifiers
- Sound notification
- Screen readers
- Speech recognition
- Scanning software
- Speech synthesis (speech output)
- Tabbing through structural elements
- Text browsers
- Voice browsers
We are constantly developing the site and test our pages against as many types of assistive technologies as we can to make the pages more accessible to you. If you do find that you are unable to access any information using any assistive technology then please contact us using the contact details on the right.
If we cannot make the information accessible to you using your assistive technology, then we will try to find an alternative way for you to access or be provided with the information.
