Technology is becoming part of everyday life for people with disability in new and powerful ways. From doing therapy in your lounge to using your eyes instead of your hands, inclusive tech is helping remove barriers and make daily tasks more achievable.

Whether it’s chatting using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), playing games, studying or working, VersaEye makes it easier to interact with your device independently. 2.
