Consider installing an assistive technology such as a screen reader or a screen magnifier. There are number or commercial screen readers available. If the machine she will be using has Windows XP, there is an accessibility setup available under Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility which will configure Windows for accessibility. Similar and even better technology is available on Macs.

Subject: SPSS for disabilities?
I've just learned that I will have a visually impaired student in one of my
classes for which I require some work with SPSS. I'm not sure how bad the
student's eyesight is, but from what I gather, it is bad enough so that she
will require a notetaker and verbal recordings/translations of reading
material - although she can see to some degree and appears to be quite
capable on a computer (presumably enlarged in some way). Because this is a
basic/intro class, the spss work is not intensive - crosstabs and
frequencies mostly.
Is there anything special that anyone can offer as to how this student
might be better able to use the software? I took a quick look and have
found no way to enlarge the data editor window and menu items (we really
won't be using syntax files) and I really didn't see much.
Thanks in advance
Jeff
