Digital Accessibility Workshop for Low Vision Students
A school for blind students in Vijayawada held a special workshop to teach students how to use technology better.
The workshop was run by a group called Enable India.
The students learned how to use their phones and computers more easily with special tools that help them see the screen better.
They learned about making the text bigger, changing the colors, and using tools that read out what's on the screen.
The school and the students are happy because this helps them learn and do things on their own.
Vijaya Mary Integrated School for the Blind organized a Digital Accessibility Workshop for low vision students in Vijayawada.
The workshop was conducted in collaboration with Enable India to enhance digital skills and independence.
17 low vision students received practical training on Android and Windows accessibility features.
Training included font enlargement, display contrast, screen magnification, zoom functions, and the use of assistive devices.
The workshop aimed to enable students to use smartphones and laptops independently for education and daily activities.
