23 Truths Blind and Visually Impaired People Want You to Know. Assistive Technology Helpful in the Classroom for Visually Impaired. Students with vision problems now have a number of tools at their disposal to help keep up in the classroom, they just need to be implemented correctly.
Luis Perez, a Florida-based digital accessibility consultant, said in an interview with R&D Magazine that the tools are available and affordable for school districts, but more work needs to be done to ensure that educators are properly trained to effectively use the platforms. “There is definitely more work that needs to be done, I think there has been a slow transition from those who work with students with visual impairment,” Perez said. “I think more professional development is needed, more awareness.” “My experience has been that educators are not always aware of what’s available and also there is still the misconception that you have to buy additional software,” he added.
“It can’t just be providing the tools, there needs to be ongoing professional development. Integracija učenika s oštećenjem vida - Hrvatski savez slijepih.

March 13, 2015 Last week I attended the 30th Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference.
It’s the premier annual event in the United States that wholly focuses on improving the lives of people who have sensory, cognitive and/or physical disabilities, through the application of technology solutions and techniques. The solutions are sometimes in the form of inventions, such as in the case of screen readers or sensor-based devices, but often in the application of best practices as in the case of ensuring websites are fully navigable without the use of a mouse. To provide an idea of the scope and breadth of the conference, over a period of three days there are between 15 and 20 sessions per hour hosted by experts in a particular field, or showcasing a specific technology solution.
More than 4,000 attendees from around the world attended while a separate exhibit floor hosts over 100 exhibitors. Learning technologies for people with disabilities. Abstract Nowadays learning technologies transformed educational systems with impressive progress of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
Furthermore, when these technologies are available, affordable and accessible, they represent more than a transformation for people with disabilities. They represent real opportunities with access to an inclusive education and help to overcome the obstacles they met in classical educational systems. In this paper, we will cover basic concepts of e-accessibility, universal design and assistive technologies, with a special focus on accessible e-learning systems.
Then, we will present recent research works conducted in our research Laboratory LaTICE toward the development of an accessible online learning environment for persons with disabilities from the design and specification step to the implementation.

Jeff Regan was born with underdeveloped optic nerves and had spent most of his life in a blur.
Then four years ago, he donned an unwieldy headset made by a Toronto company called eSight. Suddenly, Regan could read a newspaper while eating breakfast and make out the faces of his co-workers from across the room. He's been able to attend plays and watch what's happening on stage, without having to guess why people around him were laughing. "These glasses have made my life so much better," said Regan, 48, a Canadian engineer who lives in London, Ontario.
The headsets from eSight transmit images from a forward-facing camera to small internal screens—one for each eye—in a way that beams the video into the wearer's peripheral vision. 5 Gadgets That Are Changing the World for People with Disabilities.

Microsoft's new iPhone app narrates the world for blind people - The Verge. Microsoft has released Seeing AI — a smartphone app that uses computer vision to describe the world for the visually impaired. With the app downloaded, the users can point their phone’s camera at a person and it’ll say who they are and how they’re feeling. They can also point it at a product and it’ll tell them what it is.
All of this is done using artificial intelligence that runs locally on their phone. The company showed off a prototype of Seeing AI in March last year at its Build conference, but starting today, the app is available to download for free in the US on iOS.
