Technology guides

If you have a sensory loss, technology can help facilitate connections to the outside world, increase independence and improve access to information and opportunities necessary to enhance quality of life.

Vision Northumberland’s Tech page offers information and advice to help you get the most out of accessible technology and the tools available to support people living with sensory loss.

Our Assistive Tech Series has been designed to provide simple, clear instructions for those with a sensory impairment. You can read or download a guide by clicking on the title below. If you require a guide in another format, please let us know.
