A wide range of personal and household aids are available which have been especially designed to help deafblind people to live independently, and to make the environment more comfortable and secure.

These ideas are just as useful in places of work or elsewhere where aids to everyday living are required.

Such devices can make a huge difference to the peace of mind or the quality of an environment for a person with a sight or hearing impairment.

With short explanations, the pages also suggest stockists for the aids.
