Our subject specialist on assistive technology, Rohan Slaughter, sets out what you need to know.</p> </div> <p>Some years ago, when I was working with assistive technology at the independent specialist <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230326095956/http://beaumontcollege.ac.uk/">Beaumont College</a>, I met a student whose experience in my field had been quite negative – largely because he’d been offered technologies to do things that didn’t interest him much.</p><div class="inline-driver inline-driver--left-pull"><div class="inline-driver--inner"> <!-- field-collection-item-field-drivers.php --> <div class="block " id="hub"> <article class="teaser inform-inline has-media"> <div class="marker"> Info </div> <figure class="media field field-type-image"> <div class="media__inner"> <img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20230326095956im_/https://www.jisc.ac.uk/sites/default/files/styles/710px-wide/public/computer-lab-inform.jpg?itok=__Esl5VO" alt="Students working on computers"/> <div class="media__attribution"> <div class="media__attribution__title"> <span class="ico ico-i">Creative Commons attribution information</span> </div> <div about="https://www.jisc.ac.uk/sites/default/files/computer-lab-inform.jpg" class="media__attribution__info"> <div xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" class="last-child"> <div property="cc:title" class="cc__title"><a property="dct:title" rel="cc:attributionURL" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230326095956/https://www.istockphoto.com/gb/photo/the-student-life-gm862661268-143258251">Students working on computers</a></div><div class="cc__author">©<span property="cc:attributionName">PeopleImages</span> via <span>iStock</span></div><div class="cc_license last-child">All rights reserved</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </figure> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230326095956/https://www.jisc.ac.uk/accessibility">Visit our accessibility regulations hub</a> </article> </div> </div></div><h2>Small changes - big impact</h2><p>My team started by asking the student about what he really wanted to do. More than anything, like most young people, he wanted to be able to access his music. So we set up a Windows tablet to allow him to control his music independently. Then, over time, we added the ability to control his TV remotely and also added vocabulary so he could use the tablet as a fully-featured voice output communication aid that allowed him to control standard Windows applications such as Microsoft Office.</p><p>What had started out as a student-led approach to making his life more enjoyable had turned into a way he could engage with the curriculum at a higher level than he would have found possible without the technology. I saw then how caring about accessibility and assistive technology can make the difference between failing and flying.</p><aside class="article-full__callout article-full__callout--hang-right"><blockquote><p><p>caring about accessibility and assistive technology can make the difference between failing and flying</p></p></blockquote></aside><div class="signpost--highlight article-full__body" style="border: 2px solid #CE0F69;"><h2>Facts and figures</h2><p>Our <a href="/web/20230326095956/https://www.jisc.ac.uk/reports/digital-experience-insights-survey-2019-students-uk">2019 digital experience insights survey results</a> show that teaching staff often don’t know enough about accessibility and assistive technologies.</p><h3>In higher education...</h3><p>17% of teaching staff said they use assistive technologies in their role but only 24% of these receive any support in using them.</p><p>Only 26% say they’re informed about their responsibilities in relation to assistive and adaptive technologies.</p><h3>In further education...</h3><p>15% of teaching staff say they use assistive technologies in their role and only 40% of these receive any support in using them.</p><p>Only 16% say they’re informed about their responsibilities in relation to assistive and adaptive technologies.</p></div><h2>New accessibility regulations</h2><div class="inline-driver inline-driver--right"><div class="inline-driver--inner"> <span class="inline-driver-title"> GDS video </span><p>Accessibility regulations for online public services</p><figure class="media"><div class="media__video-wrapper media__video-ratio--16-9"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20230326095956if_/https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/fLk5s3S_2Y0" width="560"></iframe></div></figure><p> </div></div></p><p>While that was at a specialist college, assistive technology in various forms is widely used (19% of <span class="lexicon-term has-tooltip" title="higher education"><abbr title="higher education">HE</abbr></span> students and 14% of <span class="lexicon-term has-tooltip" title="further education"><abbr title="further education">FE</abbr></span> students either need or choose to use it, according to our 2019 digital experience insights survey) and accessibility matters for everyone.</p><p>That’s been recognised by the government, with new digital accessibility regulations that came into effect in September.

We’re also considering introductory training courses to meet the specific assistive technology training needs of supporting staff such as learning support workers and social care staff.</p><p>This
