Adaptive TV remote

What is an adaptive TV remote?

An adaptive remote in someone's hand, with big lit-up buttons.

An adaptive TV remote has simplified design, larger buttons, and bigger font size for ease of use.

Most models are universal and can be used for any brand of television. Usually, the remote has six different shaped buttons that control channel up/down, volume up/down, power on/off, and mute functions.

An adaptive remote makes it easy for you to see and feel which buttons you need to press to control the TV if you have low vision. (Most remotes require batteries that you may need to buy separately).
