Apologies for the delay in reply Barbara - There is a version of ATbar where
you embed the code within your website and this should work with Moodle. 

Have you tried the Moodle Accessibility block
https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=block_accessibility 

We are updating the toolbar at the moment and hope to solve some of the
issues that using a bookmark or favourite causes - the main one being a lack
of persistence between websites and web pages - Google Chrome extensions can
help if you use that browser https://www.atbar.org/download/ 

Finally do please get in touch off list if you would like any help. 

Best wishes

We have had problems using the AT bar in Moodle - it seems to require
setting up on each new page, with the settings for font size etc not usually
being carried over. Does anyone know what we are doing wrong or have any
advice on  how to fix this problem. We have taken it off for now?

Many thanks

Barbara

The University of Southampton has ATbar (https://www.atbar.org/ ) which can
be found by selecting the Accessibility tools at the top of the home page
http://www.southampton.ac.uk/  

I would never dare say that hosting an accessibility toolbar could result in
the increased usage of a website even though that would be a lovely thought!
There are too many other things that could result in increased traffic at
any one time.

Dear all,

We are looking at ways to make our webpages more accessible for disabled
users.  

I am interested to know if other institutions are using add-ons/ Assistive
technology packages on their webpages such as Browse Aloud?

Did you see an increase in web use/site hits after installing it?

Any feedback gratefully received!

Best wishes

Steve
