481 Disability and Assistive Technology Systems

1.A profoundly deaf person

2.A severely visually impaired person who has tunnel vision and can read

(b)Use the CAT model components to compare and contrast what the model reveals about appropriate provision of an obstacle avoidance technology for a blind and mobile person in a country in Western Europe and a country in Sub-Saharan Africa.

(c)Use the CAT model:

1.To specify an accessible lift technology which can be used by a blind wheelchair user.

2.To investigate the provision of accessible computers for a sighted profoundly deaf person whose first language is a sign language. The accessible computer is to be sited and used in a public library facility which provides access to the Internet and general computing facilities, including word processing and spreadsheets.
