Description
This is the fourth version of AccessMaths, a program which provides optimal access for pupils with complex physical needs within "Shape, Space and Measures" of the Maths curriculum. A number of important features have been added to the program, which will make it useful to pupils at Key Stage One as well as the higher key stages. The program has also been given a "face-lift" to comply fully with Windows 95/98 and NT standards. A new manual, user & task configurations and specific resources will be produced during 2000. Beta testing is currently in progress.

Description
Following an unexpected hiatus of 18 months, preliminary work has started on an upgraded version of this internationally funded project. A 32-bit version and a number of new features and improvements will be included along with a range of "ready-to-use" resources. Work will be completed in the second half of 2000 and will form a software bridge for switch users to the Java-based Comspec/Comlink applications, the first of which will, it is hoped, become commercially available in 2001.
