ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED
ESAB have recently started working with the Assistive Technology Co-ordinator from Action for Blind People to set up a demonstration and training computer at Margery Girling House in Felixstowe. We have a number of volunteers who can demonstrate how computers with specialist software for the visually impaired can be used to enable users to do any of the following:-
• Write letters
• Scan in personal correspondence and have it read aloud to you
• Browse the World Wide Web
• Listen to radio stations from around the world
• Do your shopping on-line
• Listen to music
Not only can demonstrations be arranged but extended training can be organised and later if desired assistance with purchasing personal solutions can be offered.
For more information or to arranged for a demonstration please contact the office
