Enhancing Accessibility for Visually Impaired Individuals: Resources and Technologies

This resource provides valuable information for supporting visually impaired and registered blind individuals. With 4% having no sight and 96% experiencing varying degrees of sight loss, it highlights the importance of accessible web design, including color contrast, screen magnification software, and screen reading tools. Key additional aids such as handheld magnifiers and OCR software are discussed. Organizations like RNIB and local societies offer guidance, while training on visual impairment awareness for staff is essential. Our resource advocates for an inclusive approach and a Disability Action Plan.
