Abstract
This report focuses on an assessment of the usability of the Assistive Technology (AT) deployed through the project “Development of accessible reading materials for the blind, visually impaired, deaf and hard-of–hearing, for primary school children in Uganda”. The project was deployed by UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES). It created accessible curriculum teaching material for visual and hearing-impaired children and provided hardware (laptops, video projectors, speakers, Victor Readers and tactile dots) for use in classrooms. It also provided training for teachers to use such technology. The AT and the training make up the “inclusive education AT intervention” component of the project.
