Technology Project

Technology has revolutionized daily life for people who are blind or visually impaired. The power of computers, cell phones, and GPS systems has now brought our world within reach for those unable to see.  Assistive technology, including specialized hardware or software that “speaks” or magnifies the computer screen, or renders hard-copy output into Braille, has changed the lives of countless individuals with low vision.  Students with visual impairments can complete homework, do research, take tests, and read books along with their sighted classmates. Adults with visual impairments can continue to work and pursue a wide range of careers because of the use of computers and other devices.
