It may sound silly, but I really was overwhelmed with joy by experiencing just how user friendly the new Hadley website is.
Listening to Judith Pothier speak, you would think the new Hadley website was designed specifically for her. The 73-year-old Sacramento woman was made a believer simply by viewing the introductory welcome pages. It was here where she was able to control the background and find a font color that enabled her to see the screen much better.
“With my type of vision loss, it was hard to use my iPad with the conventional background and text settings,” Judith explained. “I liked being able to create my very own personal settings.”
Since then, Judith has been using the new website multiple times a day to learn new ways to adjust with her particular disability.
Although she has lived much of her life with vision loss, Judith says she is lucky to even be alive. A car crash shortly before her 16th birthday left her with severe head trauma which included the loss of much of her vision.
She notes that while her current residence is far from user-friendly for someone with her degree of vision loss, she’s set a goal for herself, with Hadley’s help, to create a living environment that is fully accessible.
“It may sound silly, but I really was overwhelmed with joy by experiencing just how user friendly the new Hadley website is.”
“As I learn on the new website, I am gaining the knowledge and ability to change my life from a ‘seeing world’ to a ‘blind way’ of seeing and adapting.”
