Premier AT Home
"It is simple. Any school that is already a recipient of the Breaking Down Barriers to Assistive Technology Grant or the Premier In-School program can simply sign up for the Home Use extension. Once a school signs up for the program, they are given a user name and password that allows students to log into the Premier AT Home site and download any and all Premier Literacy Accessibility Suite products onto their personal computers."

"Premier Literacy has established a mission to provide assistive technology to persons with disabilities and give them access to today's technologically oriented world. In targeting those objectives, we are rapidly finding that our technologies are beginning to reach far beyond the boundaries that have historically been framed by the visually disabled software market to other emerging areas. We have developed a complete suite of products that address "reading, writing and information transfer" needs for individuals with visual, cognitive and mobility challenges. Applications for learning disabilities, general literacy and English as a Second Language can also be well-served using existing and emerging assistive technologies."
