Smartphones have revolutionised the way we communicate and access information, and they have also become an essential piece of assistive technology for people with vision impairment (VI) to enhance their daily activities and participation. We are pleased to introduce a web-based toolkit specifically designed to provide comprehensive training and learning support for individuals with VI and their caregivers. In partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), this is part of an initiative under the Digital for Life movement. This innovative toolkit has been co-designed in collaboration with researchers, a dedicated group of trainers and clients with lived experience from GDS.
Our aim is to empower individuals with VI by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make the most out of smartphone assistive technology and enhance their participation in their daily life.
