Terror without my color detector

Ever since losing most of my sight, I depend on my color detector to help me with deciphering the colors of my clothes. This nifty little gadget has the voice of an Englishman and here is how it works.

You place this hand-held gadget on a piece of clothing and turn it on. It then tells you the color. The voice is clear and has a pleasant tone. Most of the time it is accurate, and I can only guess that when it is not, it is picking up the colors of various threads in the piece of clothing itself.

This little gadget plays a very important part in my life so just imagine how I felt when it died on me a few months ago just before I had to pack for a trip. I suffered for a few days until I was able to purchase a replacement. You can learn more about the color detector by visiting www.independentlivingaids.com and www.maxiaids.com.

I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and encouraging you to go out there and share my blogs with others.
