The Accessible Devices event came into existence in June of 2002. When the founders of the Accessible Devices event realized that while the sighted community had easy access to virtually any product, not all of these products were accessible to people with vision loss. When individual members of the Blind community found a product that was accessible, there was limited means of sharing that information with others. The Accessible Devices event is an attempt to fill that need. You can log-on to the Accessible Devices event through the Accessible Devices web site and also read volumes of information regarding accessible computer hardware, software and other adaptive technologies.
