TCS Access

Our very own, Harris Rosensweig, from TCS Access, had the privilege of attending the 2024 Visions Conference in Chicago, IL, last week hosted by Foundation Fighting Blindness. This impactful event brings together experts in vision research and advocacy to drive advancements in treating and curing blinding retinal diseases.

Foundation Fighting Blindness is dedicated to advancing research for preventions, treatments, and cures for retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome, and other retinal degenerative diseases. FFB serves as a beacon of hope for those affected by these conditions. Discover more about their mission at https://www.fightingblindness.org/

Harris Rosensweig returned inspired by the collaborative spirit and eager to continue our efforts in making technology accessible to all.

The TCS Access team had a wonderful time engaging with campers at the Deaf-Blind Camp of Maryland this week, where we discussed the National Deaf Blind Equipment Distribution Program (also known as iCanConnect), for which we serve as state representatives in DC, MD, and VA. It was a pleasure to provide campers with the chance to explore the cutting-edge technology available through the program, including braille displays, large-screen monitors, iOS devices, and more.

iCanConnect is a nationwide initiative that provides free equipment and one-on-one training to individuals with significant vision and hearing loss, empowering them to stay connected with friends, family, and their community through long-distance communication. If you know someone who could benefit from this program, encourage them to apply at https://www.icanconnect.org/how-to-apply/.
