If you use technology to support communication, education, employment or independent living you could be entitled to the Vat back. @sastireland @FreedomTech_IRL need your help to understand your experiences. Please complete the survey below #VatFreeAT – at Dublin City, Ireland
Don't forget to complete the @FreedomTech_IRL survey on VAT on #AssistiveTechnology and #accessible technology. This will help them to campaign for changes in how VAT is applied. The survey takes 5-10 minutes and we really appreciate your time and input. forms.office.com/r/Yc6brD6uV…

Folks. Sign language is more than hands. More than fingers. More than hand shapes. It’s body, face, position... A glove will never ‘translate’ sign language in a way that is beneficial to the deaf. Fellow nerds, when designing, remember this: “nothing about us, without us.”
