The block allows users to customise Moodle to their visual needs. It supports changing of text sizes and colour schemes. Customisations save to the user's session, allowing them to persist between pages, and can also be saved to the database allowing them to apply permanently.

The block also integrates ATBar from Southampton University ECS. This provides extra tools and customisation options, including dictionary lookup and Text-to-speech. Visual customisations performed with ATBar don't currently persist, and can be used as well as or instead of the block's own customisations.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. I am working with St Nicholas Home from the blind and the users have a problem with the A on their screen since they are using their keyboards and open source the screen reader called NVDA. So, my colleagues are trying to explore if we could change any label on the code for the block.

Can you use it with Moodle version 3.2.1?

I was also wondering the same, what's the latest 3.x version anyone has tested this on? Many thanks in advance.

I think this is a great block. Any plans to update it for 3.2 compatibility?

Good morning, I would appreciate it if you help me solve a problem that I have.
How can I make the block display from the home page even without entering.

@Roberto this is a generic block permission question. More info here : https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Blocks_FAQ

Thank you very much Hittesh Ahuja
I checked according to the documentation you sent me but still I still can not see the block on the home page, I do not know if it is a problem of the subject.

Good afternoon, firstly congratulate them for such a good tool.
When will it be available for version 3.2.1?

We're using the accessibility block with Moodle v3.2.2 and it works correctly if that helps Roberto?

Hello, I can't see the latest version (2.2.4) on github. Shouldn't be there? It would be very helpful to do version control with the normal github remote instead of downloading it by hand. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I am working on a project that is going live at the end of 2018 and is aimed at stroke survivors among others, so it would be really good to have this plugin. The site is going to be v3.3 - do you anticipate that there will be a 3.3. compatible version of this module by, say, the middle of next year? It would be great to put this in the proposal but I don't want to make promises I can't keep!
thanks
Isabel

Hello Hittesh, Mark and Hrvoje.

First very good plugin.

Second, I suggest the following change:

edit_form.php line 59
Color scheme # '. $ I.'
change it by
'.get_string (' color_scheme ',' block_accessibility ').' # '. $ i.'

From already thank you very much.
Best regards.
Veronica.
