Introducing Assistive Technology

Today’s technological advancements make it possible for individuals suffering from vision loss to read, write, cook, enjoy hobbies, and even drive. Assistive technology is a family of products and devices that improve vision or functionality, allowing users to regain confidence and live more independently. Five of the top categories include:

Cell Phone Technology: When it comes to our community, traditional smartphones have limited capabilities. However, there are fully functional, accessible smartphones with larger print, zoom screens, speech access and VoiceOver capabilities. In addition, apps such as BARD Mobile for Android allow users to download audio books and magazines directly to their devices. If you need help with programming homework or want to learn more about the latest accessibility features in smartphones, a team of experts is ready to assist you.

Digital Readers or Talking Books: These tools are typically applications you add to your computer or smartphone. They read books, magazines and newspapers aloud and can also operate as a standalone machine. These are ideal for students who need to read textbooks but great for anyone who loves to read.

GPS Devices: Global positioning devices are helpful for those who have difficulty seeing street signs or navigating due to vision loss. These are available as smartphone apps or can be purchased as standalone devices.

Video Magnifiers and CCTVs: Closed circuit televisions can be portableor mounted on the wall. They are especially helpful in classroom settings, as they magnify objects so that they are easier to see. Handheld devices are more portable and great for everyday use, but you may want either a stand or mounted version if you plan to use one for an extended period of time.

Electronic Magnifiers: These tools are often found via smartphone apps and can be used on your iPhone or iPad. For example, Vision Assist is an electronic magnifier that uses your smartphone’s built-in camera, providing exceptional clarity even in low lighting. Have a look at the latest E-Bot Pro , Perfect for the students or busy professional.
