AI for Visual Disabilities

The Assistive Resources and Talking Book Center at the Chicago Public Library hosts a beginner-friendly workshop on how AI tools can support daily life for people experiencing visual disabilities. The Thursday morning session, December 17 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM at the Harold Washington Library Center, covers practical uses like reading text, recognizing objects, and composing messages. The setting is relaxed and peer-oriented, designed to make the technology approachable rather than overwhelming. Accessibility accommodations require a 14-business-day notice by phone or email.
