Accessible technology can be life-changing for people who are blind, DeafBlind, or low vision. Assistive technology can offer greater independence, efficiency, and inclusion. Here are some key benefits:

  • Enhanced Communication – Screen readers, voice assistants, and braille displays help users access emails, texts, and online content.
  • Improved Navigation – GPS apps and smart canes assist with mobility, making travel safer and more accessible.
  • Greater Access to Information – Magnifiers, audiobooks, and AI-powered apps allow users to read printed materials, labels, and signs.
  • Increased Workplace Opportunities – Assistive software enables professionals to perform tasks efficiently, fostering career growth.
  • Independence in Daily Life – Smart home devices, talking prescription readers, and accessible banking apps empower users to manage their routines.

Whether it's something big and complex, or small and simple, technology can make a difference in our lives. Take time to investigate some tech options and talk to your SSB counselor about what could be a good fit for you.
