Computer Cues

• Use a large, 21-inch monitor.
  
  
• If you have a Windows-based program, select the "high-contrast setting" in the accessibility options.
  
  
• Change the location of your monitor to reduce glare.
  
  
• Make sure the monitor is at eye level.
  
  
• Reverse the screen colors to white letters on a black background.
  
  
• Increase the type point size to suit your preference.
  
  
• Use an easy-to-read font, such as Arial.
  
  
• Use a print-enhancing program which can make print as large as three inches high.
  
  
• If print enhancement doesn't do the trick, try a screen-reading program, which reads aloud all of the words on a screen.
  
  
• Computer keyboards and typewriters manufactured in the U.S. after 1993 will have tactile marks on the letters "F" and "J", to help with finger positioning on the home row.
