AT Support Guidelines for the Blind/Visually Impaired

According to the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired:

• Technology needs are unique.
• Functional use of assistive technology may require a combination of large print, speech or braille.
• The goal for use of assistive supports for the Blind/visually Impaired is to maximize the functional print and/or braille reading, writing and/or communication rate.
• Reading paper materials (print or braille) may be different from reading electronically (using a computer monitor, CCTV, speech output, audio files, or refreshable braille).
• Recreation, leisure, entertainment and other socialization activities are valid uses of assistive technology.
