Sometimes, the right tool can make all the difference.
Meet Alex.
Alex is detail-oriented and eager to do well in his job. But entering data on the computer was a daily struggle. Standard screens made it difficult for him to see information clearly, slowing down his work and affecting his confidence.
With support from Trillium, Alex received a screen magnifier for his computer.
This simple piece of assistive technology made his work more accessible. With the screen magnifier, Alex can review and enter data more accurately, keep up with his workload, and feel proud of the contributions he makes on the job.
Alex’s experience is a reminder that workplace inclusion doesn’t always require a major change.
Sometimes, it means identifying a barrier and finding the right tool to remove it.
Screen magnifiers, adaptive keyboards, specialized software, and other forms of assistive technology can help people with disabilities perform their jobs more effectively and independently. But these tools are not always covered by traditional funding sources, creating an additional barrier for people who need them to succeed at work.
That is where community support can make a difference.
