iPhone, iPod and iPad Accessible Applications
Votech Rehab is pleased to be an approved affiliate for US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store.
We have tested and hand chosen accessible apps for the iPhone, iPod and iPad that we make available to our own customers. We continue to review apps as they become available and will only recommend those we find are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Our first highlight apps are for individuals who are visually impaired or blind.

Congratulations to J.C. of Mooresville!

Low-Tech = Low Cost
Assistive technology is not always high-tech, nor is it always expensive. There are great low-tech items available at no or low cost, to help you accomplish everyday tasks.
Look around your home, or take a trip to your local hardware store. Use your imagination, or the imagination of those around you to come up with simple solutions to common accessibility barriers.
