Presentation support is available
You may need help with presentations if they make you feel anxious if you struggle to remember your words or organise your content and present verbally. Present Pal is a presentation support app that acts as a set of interactive flashcards allowing presenters to prepare, rehearse and present with confidence.
You can get Present Pal via the Disabled Student’s Allowance by asking for it in your assessment. If you would like to try out Present Pal before you get your package, you can request a 30-day free trial by clicking the button below.
What is assistive technology?
Assistive technology is technology that is there to support you with anything you may need help with. For example, Speech to text is commonly used in assistive technology solutions to assist those with motor challenges.
