Technology

Accessible technology can make a huge difference to the daily life of someone who is visually impaired. Complete beginner or a regular user, we can provide support and training.

Technology – a whole world of possibilities

Almost all phones and tablets now have accessible technology such as voice-over or enhanced magnification as standard.  But many many people don’t know how devices can support them.  Technology can make daily tasks and communication easier.

And having access to technology is also becoming more important than ever.

Our team can provide tailored support and training on how technology can work for you.  This might be the basics of using phones and tablets, or the latest magnification technology.

Even if you’ve never picked up a smartphone before, or never turned a computer on, we can help you.  Or, perhaps you consider yourself an expert, but want to try out some new technology before investing?
