Assistive Technology for Visually Impaired People

* Please subscribe to our YouTube channel here.

We’ve been looking at some of the assistive technology available for visually impaired people, that John uses on a fairly regular basis. In the last week, there’s been a picture circulating on social media that shows a woman with a white cane using a mobile phone. It’s been circulated as people have been questioning whether or not the woman is actually blind. We found this quite sad to see and believe that people need educating about the technology that is available to aid visually impaired people in their every day lives. A lot of this technology is available as apps on mobile phones.

In the video below we have a brief chat about e-readers, using a computer and some of the apps that John uses on his phone. We hope that you find it useful and informative.
