Report on the Usability of Assistive Technology in Ugandan Schools with Children with Visual and/or Hearing Disabilities. A Report from the Global Disability Innovation Hub for UNICEF.

This report focuses on an assessment of the usability of the Assistive Technology (AT) deployed through the project
“Development of accessible reading materials for the blind, visually impaired, deaf and hard-of–hearing, for primary
school children in Uganda”. The project was deployed by UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and
Sports (MOES). It created accessible curriculum teaching material for visual and hearing-impaired children and provided
hardware (laptops, video projectors, speakers, Victor Readers and tactile dots) for use in classrooms. It also provided
training for teachers to use such technology. The AT and the training make up the “inclusive education AT intervention”
component of the project.
