Last week Mr. Sullivan came to are night class and spoke to us about different handicaps people have. He shared with us some types of technology that have been created to help people with handicaps compensate. He also taught our class how to make our blogs handicap accessible.
Mr. Sullivan's presentation opened my eyes to aspects of the life of a person with handicaps which I had never thought of. He brought a computer to class that had no screen. The computer had a keyboard, a braille pad and speakers. A person having vision problems could use this device to search the web and work on anything a regular computer could work on. The computer would read what a person with out vision problems could see. The braille pad was created so that it would receive a message and convert the message into braille for the user to read. The computer was amazing!
