What has ACB done to enhance the role of assistive technology in the lives of blind and visually impaired people?
Members of the American Council of the Blind have tirelessly worked with state and federal officials and with private industry to enhance the use of assistive technology, both in school and on the job, for blind and visually impaired people. The Council’s representatives have served on various committees and task forces in an attempt to assist software and hardware developers in the design of standards and products that make assistive technology more accessible on a broader scale. ACB works closely with other blindness-related organizations to educate both government and the private sector regarding the potential for education and employment that exist for blind and visually impaired people who have access to proper training and assistive technology. When necessary, ACB has further followed legal process to insure that blind persons have access to, and the use of assistive technology.
