We are delighted to bring our Assistive Technology Roadshow around Ireland this October!
What to expect
Our expert staff will be on hand to demonstrate products, talk through options and help you find the right solution for you.
Join us to learn about and try out our technology solutions for people who are blind or have low vision, and people with learning, reading, and writing difficulties.
From mobile phones, Envision glasses and OrCam, to electronic magnifiers, Braille solutions and software – options for work, study and at home.
Learn about living with sight loss
If you’re coming along with someone who has a vision impairment or is blind, learn more about what it’s like to live with sight loss with Empatheyes, a VR experience which simulates various eye conditions and helps you to understand some of the daily challenges.
Exhibitors
We’ll be joined by some great charities and companies, ensuring that you have access to information on all of the supports and services available in your area, as well as trying out some fantastic new technology.
