Sendero Group
has released a new GPS application for people with visual impairment. They
worked with the Seeing Eye
who train guide dogs. The application is free but the subscription is a bit
pricey. It is certainly worth taking a look at. Right now there is no trial
version which becomes a problem if you want to make sure it is the right match
for yourself or someone you are assessing. The app will only work in the US and
Canada but additional locations are being developed. Applications like this
provide the opportunity for increased independence and accessibility. They work
best when used in combination with our low tech options which work even when
they get wet, do not need power or updating!
This blog focuses on success stories, ideas, supports, services and many more areas in which we can empower people with different abilities in having equal access to the world. Everyone is welcome to join in this conversation. It includes research, experience and opinion. We need to talk about these areas and continue to look at ways to do things better. We have not been doing any of this long enough to be satisfied with what we have. Complacency is not an option for anyone.
