Technology That Empowers – Without Buying Anything New
At Enabling Technology Solutions, we’re always looking for ways to empower individuals to live more independently—and often, the tools to do that are already in your pocket or on your desk.
In Enabling Tech Talk #4, we focused on a powerful and often overlooked topic: built-in accessibility features on devices you already own. These tools support individuals facing challenges with vision, hearing, mobility, or memory, and they’re already part of your phone, tablet, or computer—no extra purchases necessary.
Meet Your Hosts
This session featured quick, practical demos from three of our team members:
- Evan Smith – Android accessibility
- Brady Fulton – Windows accessibility
- Ezra Reynolds – iOS (iPhone/iPad) accessibility
Each of us took just 5 minutes to highlight key features that can make everyday tasks easier and more accessible—from enlarging text, to using your voice to type, to enabling visual or audio support with a few quick settings changes.
Key Takeaway
“There’s more accessibility built in than most people realize.”
If you support someone with a disability—or are navigating changes in your own abilities—this Tech Talk is for you. These tools can support everything from staying in touch with family, to managing medication reminders, to simply being more confident using technology.
