There's a list of things that we sell (mainly for dyslexia) for MAC from
our page http://www.dyslexic.com/products.php?catid=1&subid=30
If you choose "adult" you will mostly get the things relevant to HE, but
you might also want to browse under the other categories.
There is also, of course, good information on Techdis
http://www.niad.sussex.ac.uk/search_by_products.cfm, although you will
have to be a bit more specific as to what you are looking for.
It remains true however (he says, probably unhelpfully) that the choice
of Assistive Software is not nearly so good on MAC as it is on the PC.
This is arguably even more true for other disabilities than dyslexia, eg
VI.
But because there's less of it, and it's less sophisticated than that
available for a PC, MAC fans would, I am sure, say that what there is is
easier to use than on a PC. . .
