[Athen] Request for AT list

[Heidi Scher]

Thanks, John!

I should have said that I'm looking for a general AT resource list for
individuals to know what alternatives exist rather than just one of each
type of item.  For example, screen magnification programs include ZoomText,
Magic, Supernova, Lunar, Big Shot. Screenreaders include: HAL, JAWS, and
Window Eyes.  Just figured there's someone who's already come up with a list
and hoping they would share.  It's for a presentation to a group of parents
of students in K-12 and what type of AT might be used in college (or on
their way to college).

Thanks to all!

Heidi
