Google is leveraging Chrome book accessibility tools to help students with disabilities, who are finding this adjustment even more difficult without hands-on classroom instruction and support from teachers and learning specialists. For educators and families using Chrome books, there are a variety of built-in accessibility features to customize students' learning experience and make them even more helpful. To support students with low-vision, one can increase the size of the cursor, or increase text size for better visibility in Chrome OS.
"Add a highlighted circle around the cursor when moving the mouse, text caret when typing, or keyboard-focused item when tabbing. These colorful rings appear when the items are in motion to draw greater visual focus, and then fade away," said Laura Allen, Program Manager, Chrome and Chrome OS Accessibility at Google.
For students with light sensitivity or eye strain, parents can turn on high-contrast mode to invert colors across the Chrome book (or add this Chrome extension for web browsing in high contrast).
