From tables to graphs to maps, create digital, accessible learning content with Vital that can be explored by students with visual impairments on tablets. At Vital, we believe that all students should be provided truly accessible learning content. Whether created for a student with a visual impairment, ADHD, autism or dyslexia, students can explore and learn through sensory channels that best fit their learn- ing style. Students with visual impairments can explore the tablet through their sense of touch by feeling vibrations, much like exploring tactile graphics, and listen for audio cues and text-to-speech.
