3 Overview What is assistive technology and why is it important Brief history Current Trends in technology for the blind and visually impaired : proprietary versus conventional What exciting technology awaits us and what s next in exciting new service delivery options
4 What is Assistive Technology Assistive technology is an umbrella term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and also includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them. Assistive technology promotes greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing enhancements to, or changing methods of interacting with, the technology needed to accomplish such tasks. Wikipedia
5 AT brief history Bulky Expensive ($10,000) Unknown to most end users Proprietary
6 Assistive Technology Why is it important? Take a brief journey through the eyes of the visually impaired Parle Vu France? Sense and Sensitivity Vision Institute of Paris and its subsidiary StreetLab
7 Current Technologies Proprietary Mostly more expensive Unfamiliar to conventional users Tech support Compatibility issues Conventional Ready to use out of the box General familiarity Still may require technical assistance
8 VIDEO MAGNIFIERS Reading, tasks such as putting on make-up, fixing household items, on-the go Current Technologies Proprietary
9 COMPUTERS Added software, hardware to existing computer systems Current Technologies Proprietary
10 OTHER Sonic cane Mini-Guide Victor Reader Stream Haptic shoes Navigation Bracelet Current Technologies Proprietary
11 ios Devices Built-in accessibility /portability Apps have to be assessed for access Current Technology Conventional
12 ios Devices Portable devices (iphone/ipad/ mini/ipod) in combination with apps that can take the place of multiple devices even being used as portable video magnifiers but limited Other conventional products still require tertiary software for full access- that is changing every day Fully accessible out of the box Don t have to have something different Less expensive overall Current Technologies Conventional
13 Apps for ios Task Money identification GPS Dictation Health management OCR Book reader Enhanced magnification News Barcode Scanner App for that LookTel Around Me Built in/dragon App Glucose Buddy Text Grabber BARD app Eye Sight NFB newsline Bakado

17 An Overview of ios 8 s New Accessibility Features
18 Other Apple Products imac/ Mac Book Pro
19 Windows 8 Built in accessibility but limited in applications: tablets, computers, touchscreen, mobile Magnifier and speech still not as robust as added proprietary Not as many people using these so training can be problematic Getting better every time: can support more job-oriented applications (MS Office) and generally overall more speed and power/ memory depending on the device Current Technologies Conventional
20 Considerations *Assessment* Person Vision Functionality Co-morbidities Goals Support Motivation Technology Screen size Accessibility Ease of use Technical support Input Updates
21 What s next? Or already here but has some kinks to work out Emerging Technology
22 VA has been using tele-health for various applications (Clinical Video Tele-health) Blind Rehabilitation has been working very hard to implement Transportation is problematic for blind and visuallyimpaired veteran How to deliver more services in the home/closer areas if possible VETERAN VA ISSUED COMPUTER REHABILITATION ASSESSMENT COORDINATED CARE VA Tele-Health The new frontier and what do we do with it
