ICFOSS conducted a workshop for the assessment of the devices developed by ICFOSS. The workshop was conducted on 2nd April 2022 at the Government school for Visually Impaired, Vazhuthacaud, Trivandrum, Kerala. This was conducted as part of the ICFOSS Assistive Technology division initiative for the betterment and upliftment of the visually impaired community.
The workshop started with a welcome speech by Shri Abdul Hakkim, Headmaster, Government school for Visually Impaired, Vazhuthacaud. Shri Jaidev G, Technical Consultant, Assistive Technology, ICFOSS gave the background of the workshop and also gave an overview of the devices for which the assessment was planned. The workshop was attended by the experts from various schools for visually impaired in Kerala and the Assistive Technology team of ICFOSS.
The Assistive Technology team of ICFOSS introduced two assistive devices that support the learning of visually impaired students. The ICFOSS team also introduced a device which can be used in the learning for children with Learning Disabilities. These devices were designed, developed and 3D printed in-house by the Assistive Technology team of ICFOSS. The devices for visually impaired students were developed as part of "AKSHI"(meaning eye), which is a concept developed by ICFOSS to assist the visually impaired.
Assessment of the devices were carried out by the experts. The experts suggested that these devices with few refinements need to be implemented in the schools for the visually impaired. The workshop concluded with a sum up session where the requirements were prioritized.
