[blindkid] Computer screen magnification

[Wagner, Gail Katona Y]

What kind of computer? The Macs have built in magnification and voice. For the others, you can go into control panels, and go to Mouse and you can set the cursor to have a tail, or a cirlcle to find it easier. Also, If they are using a mouse with a scroll button, you can hold down the control key and scroll on the mouse and it will enlarge or make smaller what is on the screen (usually!) Control and Scroll is how my students remember. 
And yes, zoom text is an entire screen magnification program. 
Hope this helps at least a little.
Gail

Subject: [blindkid] Computer screen magnification

My son worked on the computers today in kindergarten. He is having a hard time clicking on the arrow on the screen with the mouse. Actually, he can't see it. For those with low vision kiddos, how did you get around this? Is there a function to make the screen images larger and/or is there a device that can be purchased that can be placed on the screen and magnify the contents?

Thanks,
