Assistive Technology

If you have difficulty planning your time, brainstorming your ideas for an essay, reading or writing, or preparing for a presentation then our Assistive Technology could make the tasks easier. If you would like to discuss the use of Assistive Technology with an adviser, please request an appointment.

The Assistive Technology Centre (ATC)

The ATC is an open-access computer room for the use of students with a disability, specific learning difficulty, mental health needs or a long-term health condition.

All computers in the ATC have assistive software to support students to work effectively:

• Claro Software
• Dragon Naturally Speaking
• Inspiration

A number of the computers have:

• ZoomText
• SuperNova

Currently there are exams taking place in the ATC, so access may be limited. During these times, the ATC Annexe will still be available for use.

For more information or queries, please contact LibraryInclusion (@gold.ac.uk) or come to the help desk.

Using the ATC

Access to the ATC is included in your Universal Reasonable Adjustments so you must have registered with the Disability and Inclusion Service to use it.

Then you can book the ATC online.
