Product in Focus Holidays: Something To Read
A book is a fantastic holiday present to gift to a loved one, and we're dedicated to enhancing the reading experience for everyone, including individuals with disabilities and older readers.
There’s nothing like lounging on the beach with a good book or beating the heat and diving into a new series in the respite of the air conditioner. Reading can go beyond novels though – assistive tech can also help your loved ones access their cookbooks for a festive family dinner or prepare for the start of school in the new year.
This festive season, consider gifting the gift of easier, more accessible reading with these innovative AT solutions.
Magnifiers
Reading physical books becomes more enjoyable with magnifiers, especially for those with low vision. These aids not only prevent eye strain but also make reading more comfortable and enjoyable – and can make following a recipe or reading a Christmas card much easier!
Reading Pens
Compact and convenient, reading pens are pocket-sized devices that scan books and convert text to speech. Ideal for individuals with dyslexia, these portable pens provide seamless translation of written content into spoken words, offering a more accessible reading experience.
Digital Calendar and Reminder Clock
This product is a helpful gift for anyone who needs a visual cue to take medication, or who might need a gentle reminder or indicator of the day, date, and time. With high contrast and low glare, as well as a large and easy to read font, the Dawn Clock provides information that is easy to see and understand - you can even set your own messages, whether to remind your friend and family member to complete their daily activities like eating or drinking, or to personalise their clock and let them know you love them before they go to bed.
Book Stands
Elevate your loved one’s reading experience with ergonomic book stands that alleviate strain on wrists, eyes, and neck. These stands provide a comfortable reading position and reduce discomfort during prolonged reading sessions for when you just have to know how the book ends or are cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
Bath and Shower Mat
Slipping and falling is definitely not something you would want to happen to your loved ones, especially during the holidays! A bath or shower mat may be just what your friend or family member needs and will help keep them safe in the bathroom all year round. The suction cups hold the mat in place against tile flooring, and the non-stick rubber surface increases grip and avoids any risk of slipping in a wet environment. They can come in a range of sizes, from small stocking stuffers to larger under the tree gifts!
