| Technology has revolutionized everyday life for all of us, but it has particularly dramatic effects for people who are blind or visually impaired. Until only recently, the world of print information: books, newspapers, signs and menus, etc. were closed off to people with little or no sight. The power of computers has brought this world within reach for those who cannot see. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Assistive or Adaptive technology as it is called has exploded many barriers for the disabled in education and other areas. Students with visual problems can know do homework, essays, take tests, and read books along with the regular class. A variety of information can be found at this website, which features descriptions of adaptive equipment, tips on using technology effectively, and gives technology specialists advice on how to make websites and computer applications accessible to people who are visually impaired. |
