Assistive technology gets talked about in terms of what it does. But I love what it gives back as well.
Time. Confidence and independence.
What has it given back to you that you did not expect?

A new monitor just dropped that uses ambient light to cut power by 80% and looks like paper on screen.
For those of us with light sensitivity or low vision, displays that reduce glare are not just nice to have. They matter.
I want to see it in use!

Such a nice profile of the #AssistiveTech work being done by my Boston College Physical Computing students. www.bc.edu/content/bc-w... May be interesting to folks in the #CSed #MakerSpace #RaspberryPi and #CircuitPython communities.
Empower your independence with assistive technology.

Apple just got permission to build custom Gemini models that run on device, no internet needed.
For those of us who rely on Siri and VoiceOver daily, a smarter offline assistant is not a small thing.
Watching this closely.

👏 to @vivaldi.com for putting #a11y front and center. I just started a new profile on this much loved browser and noticed the #AssistiveTech onboarding. This makes switch access navigation on webpages so much easier! 😍

Not the flashy ones. The small ones. The app that let me read a menu. The settinga that made my phone work best for my needs.
What is the one piece of AT you could not live without?

Built with blind leadership at the center. That is what good assistive tech looks like.
