NEW SLIM LIGHT AND PORTABLE CCTV FOR MAGNIFICATION

 

Just by turning a dial, individuals who need magnification can have a portable solution that is easy to carry.  One can also adjust the angle that is needed for better viewing.  If help is needed for reading price tags in the store, restaurant menues, ingredients on packages in the grocery store, or directions on the map, this high powered magnification divice can assist them.  It comes in a carrying case and has a removable battery with an internal charger.

For those with CHARGE Syndrome who have retinal coloboma in the area of the macula, they will certainly require magnification for close range viewing.  This device can also "freeze frame", and so will actually take a temporary picture!  This device could be useful in programs where you would use the "Concrete Calendar System" or "Experience Books" for review and follow-up of activities.  Real pictures can be magnified so that detail may be better understood. You can also hook it up to your own television monitor for increased magnification.

For more information you can call 1-800-561-6222.  Contact CHARGE Syndrome Canada and let us know if you purchased one, and tell us all about it!
