What is “See It Through My Fingers?”

 

See It Through My Fingers is a unique service to provide help and assistance to blind and partially sighted people and those who work in the field of visual impairment across the UK. I am visually impaired myself and have over 29 years of experience in the VI sector.

Services I can Provide

I am qualified in both Standard and Unified English braille (UEB). Thus enabling me to teach the differences between the two braille codes. I have previously taught braille for the Royal National Institute of Blind People via Microsoft Teams and I have also  taught braille to students on a one to one basis.

I am able to Transcribe standard print documents into the various Braille codes to suit the client’s needs. Examples have included: – Children’s Books,
Information Leaflets for the National Trust, Menus for Restaurants and Educational Resources.

I can design and provide tactile images to accompany printed documents.

I am able to deliver presentations (in person and remotely) on Visual impairment which can include demonstrations of specialist equipment.

Provide advice and assistance on specialist technology for those with a visual impairment Such as: screen reading software and Braille displays.

I am often called upon by Web site / APP Developers to test their platforms for Visual Impairment (VI) accessibility.

Previous Clients have included:-

  • Royal National Institute of  Blind people (RNIB)
  • Cheshire East Council – Sensory Impairment Team.
  • Humanware (Specialist VI Equipment Provider)
  • National Trust

I recently had the privilege of being able to promote my business on a podcast called DoubleTap Extra geared towards the visual impaired community.

During the interview with the podcast host I reflected on some of my own personal challenges which I have overcome. I also highlighted the importance of Visually impaired people having access to the resources they need to access braille and assistive technology from a totally blind persons point of view, such as tactile images which are not readily available and can be time consuming for those supporting Visual impaired people to create.
