Beyond Sight: A BISM Podcast

Our monthly podcast explores unique experiences, insights and visions with BISM leaders, program participants, and special guests.

Our Favorite Things: Assistive Tech

In this month’s episode of Beyond Sight, hosts Qualik Ford and Derique Simon sit down with Gold STAR student Adam Shrieves, Access Technology Instructor Lina Howard, and IT & Training Coordinator Kyle Garcia for a conversation all about assistive technology. Our guests share the tools and devices they rely on every day, from screen readers to accessibility features built into everyday tech, and get honest about their biggest pet peeves, the bugs, gaps, and design choices that make life harder than it needs to be. They also share helpful tips for anyone who is new to the assistive tech world.
