To learn more about Assistive Technology devices, please visit https://techable.enablingvillage.sg. Alternatively, you may email us at [email protected]. Tech Able is about universal design and assistive technology. An assessment centre, an assistive device library, a smart home/office technology showcase and an event space, Tech Able aims to promote and share trends, pointers and resources on

assistive technology innovations, universally designed products and accessible services. Assistive technology lowers barriers for persons with disabilities to live well, work, learn and play. This covers a wide range of available solutions, from specialised technologies, to mainstream technologies; from no/low tech to high tech; from affordable solutions to sophisticated high end devices. Assistive technology enables greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks and promotes social inclusion and equality for all. It is not conceived as an effort to advance a single solution for everybody, but as a user-centred approach to providing products that can address the possible range of human abilities, skills, requirements and preferences.

New project to use sonification to make astronomy more accessible to persons with vision loss or who are neurodivergent.

New project to use sonification to make astronomy more accessible to persons with vision loss or who are neurodivergent.

A new project from the Center for Astrophysics l Harvard & Smithsonian is expanding access to astronomy through sound.

Sensing the Dynamic Universe (SDU) invites people to explore the cosmos, from variable stars and pulsars to black holes, through webpages and sonified video plots designed with accessibility in mind.

Traditional astronomy relies heavily on visual data. SDU uses sonification to translate brightness into pitch, making complex astrophysical data more accessible, especially for people who are blind, have low vision, or are neurodiverse.

Through this approach, users can explore light curves and spectra, and learn about phenomena like binary stars, supernovae, quasars, and gamma-ray bursts in a new way.
