suggest an assessment of their needs but quick fixes may include;
low vision assessment
CCTV
transcription on to audiotape/digital media
personal reader support
The RNIB website has a section on low vision which the learner may find
useful for initial ideas and/or contacts.
If this person is an employed researcher, Access to Work funding will be
available to support this.
Please contact me off list for contacts
