We were honored to have been featured on the latest episode of On Tech & Vision with Dr. Cal Roberts from Lighthouse Guild Manhattan! It was a privilege speaking with the brilliant CEO of Lighthouse Guild, Dr. Roberts, about how we’re taking a page out of the "playbook" of Peter and The Wolf to reimagine navigation for the blind community from the ground up. 😉 🐺 We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what assistive technology can achieve through innovation and creativity. Exciting things are ahead. Listen here, or wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ey4YmTct #AssistiveTech #Accessibility #BlindCommunity #Benvision #LighthouseGuild #OnTechandVision

Fun fact: the ADA was born the same year as our CEO, Patrick! When President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law on July 26, 1990, he declared, “Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down”. This act not only opened doors for people with disabilities but also set a global standard for disability rights. Join us in celebrating this important milestone as we continue striving for a more inclusive world.
