Part 5:AT for Positioning and Mobility

Positioning and Mobility The web is a dynamic and changing environment. Sites and URLs listed in this workshop can change names, move to another location, or just disappear. If you attempt to go to a site and it is not there: 1.Check first that you have entered the address correctly. Any error, an extra space, a capitalized or lower case letter will lead you to a dead-end. Check carefully and try again. 2.Wait a few moments and try the site again. Sometimes the internet is busy and it will work fine in awhile. 3.Try using a search engine to find the site. Enter the name, not the URL of the site you are looking for. 4.Trim the URL by eliminating parts of the address from the right end back. Remove elements one step at a time from each slash (/…/). 5.Try the Wayback Machine ( 6.If you need to use steps 3 – 5, notify the instructor whether you find the site or not

Positioning Aids Beanbags – conforms to individual for positioning Bolsters – Pillow-like objects to support various positions Mobile Stander – Upright positioning for mobility Prone Stander – Upright positioning enhances use of arms and hands Wedges – Lying position enhances use of arms/hands and head control

Speech Recognition Static –Specific words and commands Dynamic –System learns new words and commands

Types of Speech Recognition Discrete –need to say each word with a pause Dragon Dictate IBM Voice Type L&H Voice Pad Continuous –User speaks at normal rate Dragon Naturally Speaking IBM Via Voice L&H Voice Express Phillips Free Speech

Features Entry (Discrete or Continuous) Compatibility –Standard Apps –Other AT products (screen readers, etc.) –Network environments –Enrollment Process

Factors to Consider Check system requirements reported by manufacturer –Double them Desktop vs. laptop Do you need mobility? Do you need a transcription? Seating and Positioning Type of microphone (Headset vs Neckloop)

Factors to Consider Microphone Type Quality of Mic –prepackaged with software product –aftermarket mic Connection - USB vs standard stereo plug Placement of mic Other access methods - keyboards and mouse
