If you are looking for the page Sue’s Toolkit – 2 Years Later, click here. I’ll be republishing this page in a few days.
I’ve changed the direction of this series to share the pages Sue wrote about the apps and technology that she uses or has tried. This is just the first page, more to come.
Sue’s Toolkit
Two of the most popular of Sue’s pages are about what apps and devices she uses at work and at home to keep up with her busy schedule:
When Sue’s vision declined in early 2016 & temporarily prevented her from being able to work, she contacted Pennsylvania’s Office of Vocational Rehabilitation’s (OVR) Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services (BBVS). They helped her financially & with advice from Vision Rehabilitation Therapists (VRTs), she put together a ‘toolkit’.
- A Day in the Life – about her non-work days
- A Day in the Life: Work Day– about her work days
