Readability... clutter free reading!
Readability.com is a great web based application that makes reading articles from the web much easier on the eyes! The application removes all advertisements and allows you to adjust font size and color (including background color) with double line spacing! If you need even larger font sizes, simply press CTRL+
Install a link on your web toolbar (Firefox, Safari, IE) and click to READ NOW or save it for later viewing on the website- currently, Firefox has the most toolbar functionality-
You can also send articles via Email.
And... yes, there's an app too! You can even read articles on your Kindle!
Happy Reading!

Sounding Board AAC app gone free!
Ablenet's Sounding Board app is free FOR A LIMITED TIME!
Hurry to download this great dynamic display AAC app!
Favorite features: EASY to learn, navigate and program; take or import your own pictures directly within the app or use a pic from their library;
integrated auditory switch scanning (auto or step)
Wish List: Ability to disable scanning of menu bar (they promise this is coming soon!); use of screen as a switch, increase the number of cells beyond 9 (and then add row/column scanning;); ability to use in landscape mode; customization of cell and board background colors...
Let us know how you like it!
ENJOY! Karen
