Occupational integration

In our experience, professional integration works well if the following conditions are met:

The visually impaired or blind aids must be able to compensate for the handicap-related disadvantages. It must therefore be ensured that a blind employee can work competitively.Employers and personnel must be informed about the fact that visually impaired and blind people can do an excellent job with appropriate technical aids and do not appear as an additional problem, but often act as an impulse generator.

Since standard aids such as Braille displays and screen readers are often no longer sufficient to compensate for the lack of the perceptual sense of "seeing" in today's requirements, we develop ergonomic products that make work fast, intuitive and efficient.

The world of work is known to evolve quite rapidly. We respond to changing requirements by developing innovative products that enable blind and visually impaired people to keep pace with technological changes.

For example, our product DL® EasyTask significantly speeds up work processes under Windows, Microsoft Office, SAP, IBM Notes and many other industry solutions. DL® XTab makes controls accessible and makes users partially independent of so-called screen reader adaptations. DL® ETB (electronic telephone book) is used by public authorities such as the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen and Stuttgart, the Federal Court of Justice and many other authorities.

Screen reader adaptations (so-called scripting) are used when application programs cannot or can only partially be used by blind people. One speaks of more or less barrier-free systems.

It is important that public authorities, industries and any companies pay attention to purchase systems that are as accessible as possible. There is a separate article on this topic.In our experience, it is important to take the fears and anxieties of employers and human resources people seriously. If someone has already had two job application trainings, it doesn't help much to have a third one. Practical demonstrations, on the other hand, are convincing.

For this reason, we demonstrate how to work as a blind person. Employers and HR people ultimately judge potential employees on their ability to deliver good, competitive work.Disabled people often have a strong motivation to live independently, earn their own money, and show their colleagues that they can do valuable work.

For this reason, visually impaired and blind people often contribute ideas on how to make work processes simple and smooth.
