Software Adaptations

This section of the shop contains the software that we’ve been able to get discounts on or which is less well known and we feel would be of use to the disabled community.

We’re don't sell all adaptive software which exists - if you are looking for something not listed and think we might be able to help, please get in touch via shop@aidis.org.

Please also bear in mind the Free Software which has been included in the Software Adaptations section of the website, as this is all FREE. It's not always going to be the right option, but it's worth trying it out to get an idea of what a particular kind of software can do and might be used for.
