[Penny Gray]

You make a good point Dave.  I knew what I was looking for but I was not making myself clear in my question.

Please let me rephrase my question.

I'm looking for thoughts and ideas for adaptive technology software purchases through 2011-2012.

We currently have and are using JAWS, ZoomText, Kurzweil 3000, Read&Write Gold, Dragon NaturallySpeaking and an assortment of math and music accessibility software.  The maintenance licenses are automatically paid for through the campus software purchasing.  But I have been asked to make recommendations on assistive/adaptive softwares' that we may need in the upcoming years.

Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or recommendations?

I hope this is a more clarified request.

Thank you, Penny

You give us no frame of reference from which to make 
recommendations.  What do you do, what are goals, what do you already have etc.

Are you looking for assistive technology, general market technology, 
something else.  Is it training, demonstration, evaluation or what.???
