Assistive Technology Services
Assistive technology can provide alternative ways to access information, communicate, complete schoolwork, manage daily tasks, and perform job responsibilities. An effective technology plan should be based on the person’s functional needs, goals, current skills, preferred access methods, and the environments in which the technology will be used.
Assistive Technology Assessments
An assistive technology assessment can help identify tools, software, settings, and training needs that may improve access to computers, mobile devices, printed information, digital content, educational systems, and workplace technology.
- Current technology skills and access methods
- Computer and mobile device accessibility
- Screen reader and screen magnification needs
- Braille display use and compatibility
- Workplace or educational technology requirements

Technology Training
Technology training is individualized and focused on functional use. Instruction may address basic access skills, academic tasks, employment responsibilities, communication, information management, and independent use of digital tools.
- Computer instruction
- Smartphone instruction
- Microsoft Office applications
- Email and digital communication
- Internet navigation
- Workplace software
- Remote technology training
Training can be adapted to the learner’s current experience, preferred access method, educational or employment goals, and the specific technology they use.
Independent Living Services
Vision changes can affect how people complete familiar daily tasks. Independent living services focus on practical techniques, organization, communication, and technology that can support safer and more efficient daily routines.
- Independent living assessments
- Adaptive techniques
- Household technology
- Organization and communication strategies
- Daily living technology
Recommendations are individualized. The purpose is to identify strategies that fit the person’s routines, environment, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one method is appropriate for everyone.

Braille Services
Braille can be an important literacy and access tool for some people who are blind or have low vision. VisionLink Solutions offers Braille instruction and technology support for learners who may benefit from tactile reading and writing in daily life, education, or employment.

- Braille technology
- Braille displays
- Workplace and educational Braille applications
Braille instruction may be provided as a primary or complementary access method depending on the learner’s goals, literacy needs, technology use, and functional vision.
College Preparation & CollegeConnect
Preparing for college or postsecondary training involves more than academic ability. Students may also need reliable access to digital course materials, accessible technology, organizational systems, communication tools, and effective self-advocacy strategies.
VisionLink Solutions’ CollegeConnect services are designed to help students identify and strengthen the access and technology skills needed to participate more independently in postsecondary education.
- Assistive technology preparation
- Semester preparation
- Campus accessibility planning
- Digital textbook access
- Microsoft Office accessibility
- Self-advocacy
- Accessible academic workflows
CollegeConnect does not replace academic tutoring. Its focus is accessibility, technology, organization, self-advocacy, and practical preparation for the demands of college or training programs.

Workplace Support for Employees & Employers
Workplace accessibility is most effective when the employee, job tasks, technology, and work environment are considered together. VisionLink Solutions provides practical support for employees who are blind or have low vision and for employers seeking to improve access to job-related technology and workflows.
- Workplace technology training
- Assistive technology configuration
- Job-specific software training
- Accommodation implementation support
- Employer and employee consultation
For Employees
Workplace support may help an employee learn accessible methods for completing job tasks, configure assistive technology, improve efficiency with workplace software, or prepare for changes in technology or job responsibilities.
For Employers
Employer consultation can help organizations understand technology-access barriers, explore practical accommodation options, support onboarding or retention, and coordinate training when specialized access needs are present.
Recommendations should be based on the actual job, the employee’s functional needs, and the technology used in the workplace. A disability diagnosis alone does not determine whether a person can perform a job or which accommodation is appropriate.
