Assistive Technology enables people with disabilities to accomplish daily living tasks, assist them in communication, education, work or recreation activities. In essence, it helps persons with disabilities achieve greater independence and enhances their quality of life.
In recent years, assistive technology for the visually impaired has advanced significantly. Screen readers, OCR, refreshable Braille, magnification devices and software have helped to improve the lives of the visually impaired. How much does this feature in your life? Are you already using assistive technology to access school, work, leisure activities, or are you still unsure what assistive technologies have to offer?
There will be discussions available for you to participate and discuss and share your experience with one another.
