This past week, BVA’s VetTech team featured an overview of En-Vision America’s ScriptAbility solutions that make medication labels accessible to blind and low vision veterans.

All VetTech webinars and talk sessions are open to everyone—blind and low vision veterans, family members, caregivers, blind rehabilitation specialists, and all other parties interested in assistive, adaptive, and accessible technology that can empower independence.
