Assistive technology
Become more confident and independent, with the help of the right assistive technology.
What is assistive technology?
Assistive technology is the name for the tools that help blind and partially sighted people to be independent. This technology can help with reading and writing, play, and learning. This includes things like screen readers, magnifiers, Braille displays, or voice control.

What's coming upWe can provide you with advice and information about different devices, such as smartphones and braille readers, as well as our perspective on emerging technologies and tools like AI.
Who’s it for?
You can arrange a personal session with our Assistive Technology Officer that will be designed just for you, or for you and your family. Sessions can take place at our Life Without Limits Centre in London or delivered online. All sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes and can be arranged at a date and time convenient to you.

How will it help me or my family?
Technology is always changing, but we can help you to keep up with current trends.
And along the way, you can also get involved with our online gaming sessions and have some fun!
