Using technology to improve your life
Assistive technology is the name given to a wide range of software and hardware which can make everyday gadgets and equipment accessible to someone living with visual impairment.
For example, adding speech and magnification tools to your computer or mobile phone could help you to continue or gain employment and keep in touch with friends and family more easily. Whilst having access to video magnifiers could help you enjoy your hobbies and make the most of your leisure time.
