Accessibility Suite 8.0 Making Universal Design Affordable

Premier Assistive Technology announces the release of their latest 8.0 version of their leading edge Accessibility Suite, a comprehensive portfolio of applications to address a broad spectrum of literacy needs. Accessibility Suite version 8.0 is network friendly and Microsoft XP and Vista compliant, allowing for a quick and easy system migration to Vista. The Accessibility Suite 8.0 is available to schools in three different formats: Standalone Installer; an MSI Installer, which uses "pushed group" policies; and a Network Version running from a central server.

(PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- It's Premier Assistive Technology's goal to provide the most cost-effective solutions for the literacy marketplace. Premier Assistive's progressive enterprise licensing model makes it possible for schools to provide the entire suite of literacy tools to all students, including "at risk", ESL, and general and special education students. Unlike other companies that charge for each individual physical site, Premier Assistive Technology's unlimited site license includes every computer owned by an organization, regardless of the location of each.

The true spirit of Universal Design for Learning is to create an environment that provides equal access to all students, regardless of their primary language or literacy challenges. ESL support has been a topic of discussion at many of Premier Assistive Technology's recent presentations. Premier Assistive Technology even includes its conceptual translation technology and Language Model Information Summarization in the Accessibility Suite 8.0 version.
