The Warwickshire Association for the Blind (WAB) has displays of equipment at our Drop-In Centres in Nuneaton, Rugby, Stratford and Leamington.
The equipment that we have is specially designed to help people with sight loss overcome practical problems.
The equipment can be divided into:
- Mobility equipment - e.g. white canes of various types.
Equipment on show at Stratford Drop-In
- Aids to daily living - e.g. kitchen equipment, talking watches
- Communication equipment - e.g. telephones, writing frames, reading devices
- Low Vision devices - e.g. CCTV's, magnifiers
- IT equipment - e.g. hardware and software
Many items of equipment can be issued free of charge to people who have received an assessment by one of our Rehabilitation Officers. Staff will organise purchase of all recommended equipment on behalf of clients. For further advice on equipment contact WAB.
