Equipment with aids and adaptation of workstations

Equipping people with suitable aids or adapting workstations for the visually impaired allows them to work efficiently at work, in education, and at home. Our IT specialists provide individual and needs-oriented support. If a person is newly equipped with assistive devices, it is recommended that they first undergo basic training in vision technology or a thorough introduction to the use of assistive devices and suitable compensatory work techniques. If authorized to do so, aids can also be provided for private use.

If you have any questions or technical problems in connection with your aids, please contact our support line.
