Individual Technology Solutions for Vision Impaired People (ITSVIP)
The charity was originally set up to provide telephone landlines for Blind and Vision Impaired people who could not otherwise afford them. After consultation with our stakeholders, we have expanded our offering to include mobile phones and tablet computers. These have specialist access software installed or use the in-built accessibility.
Our charity uses a referral system and by working with partners in the sector, both Local and National Blind Societies along with professionals such as Eye Clinic Liasion Officers, Rehabilitation Officers for the Vision Impaired and Social Workers, the charity provides grants in the form of communication equipment and services. As part of the grant for equipment we also include device specific product training.
