I am a teacher in Yonkers Public Schools for students who are blind or visually impaired. I work 1:1 with students at all grade levels to ensure that their classroom materials are accessible to them in their preferred reading medium whether it is braille or large print. Assistive technology plays an important role in providing these materials and has made it possible to access digital files in braille format or audio with options to enlarge font and adjust brightness and contrast to what is comfortable for each individual.
