My Adapted Life: Gizmos that help me read and study
In a new weekly video series for March, we meet three disabled people who have enhanced their lives by using various adaptations.
This week: Adele, a student at the University of Aberdeen, uses consumer computer devices to assist her with study and her leisure time.
It sounds like a cliche but, 'despite the odds', she struggled through her A-levels and got top grades before getting a diagnosis of dyslexia. Watch her story.

I can't see the video. Do you have a transcript? Being a disability site I presume you must have, so please point us to it.
It sounds like an interesting story but if anyone with a visual impairment (or living outside the UK) can't access it, it's not much use...
