A Unique Resource for the Blind of the World...
A comprehensive evaluation, demonstration, and training center, complete with over $2.5 million worth of nearly all of the tactile and speech output technology now available to the blind, the IBTC has served since its inception in 1990 as a rich resource for vendor-free advice on all aspects of access technology. Staff members of the IBTC consult with individuals, employers, rehabilitation and education professionals, and technology developers, thus better ensuring that the consumer perspective is represented and technology choices are the best for each blind person.
