Blind Mice On The Trail
The Blind Mice Mart, which sells a range of products including some fun and useful items for people who are blind and vision impaired, was recommended by a member of the RPList today. The company offers scholarships for children who are blind or vision impaired or whose parents are blind or vision impaired using the money raised from sales. I have now added a link to the company on my Adaptive Equipment page.
Whenever I update a page, I test it using the World Wide Web Consortium's validator and link checker, to check that the page still meets current standards and does not include dead links.
Today I discovered that several links needed updating and discovered a few more. These included New Zealand's The BAT 'K' Sonar Cane, Californian training group Access Technology Institute and Colorado supplier of adaptive equipment and training Beyond Sight.
While searching for more about Beyond Sight, I learnt about the similarly named organisation Art Beyond Sight, which promotes art education and pictorial literacy for people who are blind or vision impaired.
After wondering about how people who cannot see the keyboard can learn to type, I was also pleased to re-discover MarvelSoft and their Talking Typing Teacher.
