Envision has launched the Accessible Products Hotline, designed to help consumers with vision loss in searching for products that fit their unique accessibility needs. The new hotline, 316-252-2500, is staffed by trained customer service representatives who are blind or visually impaired.
Funded by a grant from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) Foundation, the hotline will be operated by the William L. Hudson BVI Workforce Innovation Center, connecting callers with professional advice about purchasing and operating the top home, office and personal use products on the market today.
The BVI Workforce Innovation Center is part of Envision Inc. with the objective to train and employ individuals with visual impairments, place them into skilled positions and provide accessibility inclusion expertise to businesses around the United States.
Products supported by the hotline were selected for their strong accessibility features and recommended by previous users who are blind or low vision. New items will continue to be added. Consumers can recommend a product by completing an online form.
