We display useful specialist equipment and daily living aids to help with everyday activities.
Telling the time, working in the kitchen, taking medication and using the telephone or remote control can all become more difficult with a sight loss. We have a range of daily living aids that can help e.g. talking clocks and watches, tactile markers, large button telephones and many others.
Our Resource Centres in Aberdeen and Dundee are open from 9am-4pm, Monday to Friday.
Our Resource Centre in Elgin is open from 9.30am - 1pm, Monday to Friday.
Our staff in Angus can provide information and support about equipment and daily living aids.
