You could also use assistive technology, hardware and/or software to
enlarge print, Zoomtext, a CCTV, hand-held magnifier etc. With software
parameters can easily be changed.<br><br>

Thank you for the input Andrea! I agree It is important to communicate
with the student. It is definitely easier when the student already knows
what enlarged print configurations work for them. Trouble comes in newly
diagnosed situations where the student is at a loss trying to figure out
what suits them the best. Sometimes they are also dealing with coming to
terms with the diagnosis and may not have the resource to find the
specifications by trial and error on their own. I thought if they are
provided with a printed copy with varied styles, sizes etc it might be a
good starting point that also gives them the confidence to figure out
what suits them the best.<br><br>
Thanks you!<br><br>

<br><br>
Every low vision student we’ve worked with has needed different
specifications. I don’t know if there’s a “one-size-fits-all” sort of
template for this, unfortunately. We always ask the student what they
need or prefer as far as things like font size or line spacing or
whatever, and make things specifically for the student’s needs.<br><br>

<b>Subject:</b> [Athen] Enlarged Print Configuration Templates for Low
Vision Students<br><br>
<br><br>
Hello Everyone!<br><br>
<br><br>
I am grateful for the support and ideas provided by the members of this
forum!<br><br>
<br><br>
Are there any tools or templates out there that can help figure out the
best enlarged print configuration (font syle/size/line spacing, color
contrast etc) for newly diagnosed low vision students. I have been using
a basic template created using
<a href="https://www.washington.edu/doit/how-can-i-accommodate-students-low-vision">
suggestions listed by University of Washington</a>. I wanted to check if
I am missing anything and would appreciate any additional
resources.<br><br>
<br><br>
Thanks in advance!<br><br>
<br><br>
Best,<br><br>
Ramya<br><br>
