Dolphin - Free resources to make Visual Impairment assessments fast and effective

Utilise free tools from Dolphin that streamline visual impairment assessments, helping professionals deliver faster and more effective support.
Dec 13

Every client with a vision impairment is different, and finding the right assistive technology to meet their needs can be a challenge.
To help, Dolphin has provided a range of free resources to help you make informed recommendations about assistive technology:

Assistive Technology Justifications Guide

Use our comprehensive ‘Justifications for Visual Impairment Assessments’ guide to match the right assistive technology to your client’s needs.
The guide includes 25 common accessibility requirements that clients with vision impairments experience in education and the workplace. This includes clients who:

  • Are unable to view text on the screen in its original size
  • Have colour vision deficiency and cannot read text in particular colours
  • Need to use more than one application concurrently
  • Need speech to read text from the screen back to them
  • Need information to be shown on a connected braille display
  • Need to be able to read information in print
  • Work for a company that uses Remote Desktop Services to manage its IT
  • And much more…

For each accessibility need, the Justifications guide highlights the assistive technology features that meet the specific need, and provides text for Assessors to copy-paste into your assessment.
