Tech Tools to Help Seniors with Disabilities
Tech tools to help seniors with disabilities can be life changing.
Staying connected to our loved ones gets a little harder when we reach our senior years. This is especially true if our friends and family have moved far away. Things get even more complicated when you’re dealing with vision loss. Fortunately, the internet is an endless source of valuable information and accessibility tools that can assist you. My Resources tab is also filled with helpful advice and leads to a number of email series. As you navigate the daily challenges involved in living with limited vision, the following tech tools can make your life a little easier.
Reliable Internet
When it comes to staying connected, reliable internet service is essential. But according to The Markup (see Resources below), 25 million people in the U.S. do not have access to broadband internet! If you live in a rural area that lacks a fast and reliable broadband connection, consider subscribing to wireless home internet. As just one example, Verizon’s high-speed LTE Home Internet (see below) could be a great solution for you.
