Computer training for blind and partially sighted people
Vision Through Sound is a not for profit community interest company. Our directors are Stephanie Sergeant, Nigel James and Heather Duke. Empowering visually impaired people with information and assistive technology, and being sensitive to different user needs we enable them to pursue their own life’s vision.
Aims & Objectives
By working with other businesses, Vision Through Sound aims to enable visually impaired people to be able to use computers and smartphones, in a way that they could not before. The benefits of this are the following:
- To give visually impaired people new life skills
- Enable visually impaired people to find work.
- To benefit the families of visually impaired people by enabling them to live more independent lives.
- To benefit the state, as due to the independence visually impaired people will need less care from society.
