We also learned about collaborations on AT involving St John of God Community Services, Fighting Blindness and @enableireland.bsky.social.
Lots of great work going on, but also lots of good ideas in development, like AT passports and lending libraries. Hear all about them: pod.fo/e/3ea7d0
You can also check out stories from AT users at FreedomTech.ie.
We discussed some of these in the episode: pod.fo/e/3ea7d0
Patrick is a DigiCoach and Sarah is an AT facilitator. They told us all about this programme, which helps people who need AT and also people who need to understand it (everyone!)
Find out more about DigiCoaches from DigiCoach.ie.
Hear all about it: pod.fo/e/3ea7d0
Sarah and Patrick contributed to the development of an award-winning co-design toolkit from @tudublin.bsky.social, which serves as a guide for involving people with disabilities in the development of apps and digital services.
Find the toolkit here: arrow.tudublin.ie/cgi/viewcont...
This week, we are speaking to Sarah Boland and Patrick Fitzgerald, about AT, or assistive technology, and how we can all have better digital experiences because of it.

We should also mention that AlgoWatch.eu is a European project that involves @savoirdevenir.bsky.social, DKMK and @cies-iscte.bsky.social, and has been translated into a number of languages.
And chunks of this episode were also informed by a keynote @elaineburke.bsky.social delivered at the recent @cesi-ie.bsky.social conference in Limerick, which you can watch in full here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfwM...
We also gave a shout-out to the Switched On programme for digital literacy among fifth and sixth class students, developed by @webwiseireland.bsky.social and @cnam-ie.bsky.social.
More on that here: www.webwise.ie/switchedon/

What is AI literacy?
We found out from @aphrak.bsky.social who also told us all about the AlgoWatch.eu project teaching teens about algorithms.
