Make it easier to use my device

The settings on your device make it easy for you to adjust it to suit your needs. One of the best parts about technology is that it is becoming increasingly accessible. There are lots of different settings and adaptations you can make to ensure it's easy for you to get to grips with it! Accessibility means making your device easier to use, whether or not you have a disability or impairment.

AbilityNet provides free information about accessibility for people with disabilities and impairments. This includes factsheets, webinars and free IT support at home.

My Computer My Way, which is part of the AbilityNet website, is a step-by-step guide to adjustments you can make to your iPad or Chromebook to make them easier to use.

You can make adjustments like:

  • increase the font (text) size
  • adjust the touch settings
  • change the colour of the screen
