Deciding Which Assistive Technology Works for You

Do you need no tech, low tech, or high tech? Is your need one that you can use common household items to resolve, or do you need modifications? If modifications are needed, can you meet your needs with a simple magnifier from a store, or do you need a more advanced or refined type of magnification? Lighting may be an issue for you. In that case, can you use a set of sunglasses, or do you need a sophisticated lighting system? If you are a person who uses braille, can you use a cheap slate and stylus, or do you need an advanced braille display, or braille notetaker? This site does not condone any one solution, product, or vendor. It is a website of resources, from making a decision regarding which assistive technology is appropriate, and where these can be obtained. There are also, where possible, links to instructions regarding using some of the items.
