Simple solutions for everyday lounge tasks
Using TV remotes
Simplified TV remotes with large buttons work with any television with an infrared remote. These types of remotes can make it easier to find what you want to watch. Try connecting your headphones to your TV so you can enjoy your favourite programs with clear sound.
Seeing and holding crafts and games
Vision Australia has an online store that sells a range of items to help you see small crafts and needles. There are standard-sized playing cards with large symbols and numbers, or you can buy larger playing cards. Cardholders can help reduce strain during longer games.
Holding and reading books
A simple book stand can ease strain and allow you to sit closer to your book. Many books, diaries and calendars are now printed in large print to make them easier to read.
Using accessibility features
Kindle eReaders have accessibility features to help you read. You can choose a larger font and greater contrast. A Kindle also has a text-to-speak function and will play audiobooks for you.
