To adjust accessibility settings, select "Profile" from the Settings drop-down in the top menu bar:
Scroll to the bottom of your profile and use the radio buttons to turn Accessibility Mode on or off. In Accessibility Mode pages of books are presented in text, and images and links are labeled for screen reader use. There is also the option to select the checkbox for OpenDyslexic font to be used in Ebook Central.
Some features of the online reader are removed when Accessibility Mode is turned on. The top menu in the online reader has the following options with Accessibility Mode on:

JSTOR uses PDF as the primary file type for resources and they work to ensure that their image-based PDF files are accessible and can be read with screen readers like JAWS. These files are tagged for the JSTOR website using an automated process. In the event that a PDF is not tagged to the specifications of your screen reader, JSTOR can perform manual tagging for you. They will also re-format PDFs if they're unreadable via screen reader.
