Day 70: Waiting outside one of our classrooms before getting a low-vision student set up with an Enhanced Vision Acrobat magnifying device so they can better participate in their class. It’s a fairly simple device — a screen with a camera that can be directed at the table to magnify papers, or around the classroom to zoom in on the instructor, whiteboard, or other students — but it makes a big difference. And reminds me a lot of a very similar (but much lower-tech and not at all portable) device that my grandma used as her vision deteriorated over the years that I would play with when we went down to visit them.
