Equipment Programs For The Blind & Visually Impaired
The Legacy Technology Project
603-827-3859
The Legacy Technology Project was started by a deaf blind user of the technology and a teacher of the visually impaired. We acquire devices in a variety of ways including contributions, trades and purchases. The devices are cleaned, repaired, repackaged and distributed at reasonable prices to places where they can do the most good.
If you have talking or braille technology that works or does not work, that you would like to pass on to us, we will find new homes for it. In the past 8 years we have found new homes for hundreds of devices including Pac mates, Braille -N-Speaks, talking GPS devices, disc drive accessories, victor readers and so much more. We do not list our inventory as it changes so frequently. But if there is an item you are seeking, please contact us by email or phone and we will do what we can to assist you.
