This video is a production of PACER's Simon Technology Center and the Family Center on Technology and Disability (FCTD) that is designed to raise awareness of Assistive Technology (AT) devices. This video tells the story of Mason, a young boy with vision loss who is learning to read and write in the same classroom as his peers thanks to the use of innovative assistive technology. In addition to Mason, this video includes an interview with the NLSEC Teacher of the Visually Impaired, Evie Pemrick!
