As an old dog who got into the field when DOS was in vogue, and technology was
microwaves, and the future was bag phones, my toolkit needs lesson plans so
that I can learn to teach adaptive technology as best I can to persons who were
skilled with their laptops, tablets and smartphones who now cannot access them.
While this is a relatively new issue, for me, it is a tsunami warning. I have
always heard clients talk of the last time they drove their car and how they
hold on to a drivers license, however, the effects of being cut off from email,
banking, shopping, socializing, sports, entertainment, etc that is currently
readily available is going to be a huge crisis if I cannot address some of the
needs.

Hello!
I would have a variety of different magnifiers, a couple of different color
identifiers/money identifiers including APPS for smartphones/IPADS, money of
different denominations/coins, headphones for training on ATMs.
Great discussion starter!

hello everyone,
I want too pick your brains for something.
Imagine you are at a silent auction or a auction and there is an item called
the VRT toolkit or basket.
What items/things would be in it. What would get your VRT heart saying "I want
that."
I know we always want or would need and benefit from bump dots. But what else
would be helpful and essential for this basket to have.
Just wondering smile.
Things I have thought of
bump dots
pens 20/20 and others
signature guides
Help guys. and let your thoughts run.
