Tiresia, 70 years old. Autonomy in daily life for a visually impaired elderly person
Editorial data: Portale SIVA FondazioneDon Carlo Gnocchi
Abstract: Tiresia is a man aged 70, that represents all the elderly people who spend part of their life with the difficulties caused by the decay of visual function. Social costs of visual impairment in Italy amount to about 12.069 million per year. After ophthalmologic consultation, user needs were analyzed through the IPPA instrument, which permitted us to define the intervention objectives, in particular to allow Tiresias to keep the alphabetical code as far as reading and writing are concerned, in all those activities at home and outdoors, he considered important. We studied original solutions, using both hardware (HW) and software (SW) commercial products and solutions dedicated to low vision as well. The cost analysis emerged using the SCAI methodology has highlighted the savings over the social cost by using the assistive solution proposal.

Overviews of assistive technologies and services for persons with sight disability
Editorial data: Dispense Corso di Alta Formazione "Tecnologie per l'Autonomia". Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus
Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) The gradual or sudden reduction of visual function, which is not always possible in the context of everyday life to maintain the same habits and consequently the same quality of life, may be at least partially compensated by an appropriate assistive technology aids through dedicated and a specific rehabilitation customized. The lesson allows you to get close to a wide range of supports and services for the benefit of the visually impaired, visually impaired and blind, through a knowledge of the main categories of assistive technologies: optical aids for near and far, electronic tools; computer systems; educational software , to customize and dedicated; alternative reading (in large letters, reading machines, Braille displays and posters for reading the Braille tactile form); tiflotecnici aids for personal autonomy and other services that improve the study, the work and daily life.

Laboratory - PC accessibility
Editorial data: Dispense Corso di Alta Formazione "Tecnologie per l'Autonomia". Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus
Abstract: The lecture illustrates informatic access Assistive Devices and Softwares and their configurability. The concepts of interfaces, scansion, vocal sinthetizer, voice recognition are deepen. An overview is made of the Assistive Technologies and the facilitations they can introduce. The lecture goes through slight facilitations easily available to more complex assistive technologies useful when limitations are more severe. For PC input (text insetion and mouse pointer control) alternative keyboards and mouse emulator are available, when motor limitations are more severe scansion and sensore can be useful. Some examples of cases are then described.

Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) Francesco is a boy of sixteen years with outcomes of Infantile Cerebral Paralysis and remarkable visual problems, situation that has influenced in decisive way in the development of its cognitive abilities. He is equipped with remarkable wants of living and to get in contact with with the others. Continuation ***dalla writing in ***fisioterapico treatment ***dall' the age of three years has caught up one currently discreet ***deambulatoria independence. In this period it is inserted in one before advanced and it attends a socio-educational center. The project exposed in the thesis, aiming to the conquest of a greater independence, previews the use of assistive devices actions to ***rendergli the more satisfactory life in three fields: 1) external mobility through the location of a manageable wheelchair for he and the relatives or the operating ones who turn around to he. It has been chosen the wheelchair to rear driven. 2) Independence in the treatment of the own linked person in particular at the moment of the bath: the seat for bathtub is proposed. 3) computer based Accessibilities and possibility of writing through the location of opportune adaptations for computer and specific programs. They have been chosen: expanded special keyboard, emulator of keyboard, software for decode information video, software for magnified visualization, software for learning of the mathematical one, software for learning of the monetary value, software for the exercise of ***abilita' perceptive, software in order to design, software for processing of texts.
