FamilyConnect®

For parents of children with visual impairments

Technology

Technology is everywhere in today's society—from the computer you are using to visit the FamilyConnect web site to the debit card you used at the grocery store this morning, to the remote you click to change channels on your television. Your child who is visually impaired will use technology in all facets of her life. Sometimes it will be the everyday technology that all people use, sometimes it will be assistive technology, and sometimes the two will overlap.

As your child grows, her technology needs will change. At the same time, the technology available to her will be changing as well. To help your child make the best use of both global and assistive technology to maximize her independence, you will need to know about these ever-changing options.
