Product Minute: Mountbatten Tutor.

 

Happy to say the Mountbatten Tutor is available from both Vision Australia and Quantum RLV.

Great for pre-Braille training in to primary.

Could be used by adults as well, but not primary focus.

Braille, emboss, type in via QWERTY keyboard, see what is happening on the inbuilt screen, and link it up to a smart phone or tablet.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) May 16 2024

 

I always like to remind folks that GAAD really goes a long way beyond web and app accessibility. Think of the “things” in your everyday life that is “digital” and then ask yourself could this be accessed by “everyone”.

Telstra to Extend the 3G Shut Down Until August 31 2024

 

This is for Telstra customers, so may be different for your provider. However, a great time to recheck not only your SIMM card/hand set compatibility with 4G/5G, but also other devices like CPAP devices that also use SIMM cards.
