Hope Survives has partnered with assistive technology company Recite Me to enhance its website accessibility, ensuring individuals affected by brain injuries can access vital resources and support with ease.
The implementation of Recite Me’s accessibility and language tools on its website is a significant step toward fostering inclusivity and breaking down digital barriers for those who need it most.
Millions of individuals worldwide experience the lasting effects of brain injuries, often facing cognitive, visual, and language-related challenges that make online navigation difficult. Hope Survives is dedicated to providing resources, and community support, and empowering brain injury survivors and families to know they are not alone.
By integrating Recite Me’s tools, the organization is furthering its commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that community members, regardless of ability or language need, can engage with their content seamlessly.
“As a survivor of traumatic brain injury, I understand the profound impact cognitive and visual challenges can have on every aspect of daily life. Hope Survives is committed to making sure that hope is accessible for every person going through brain injury, which is why we have integrated Recite Me’s accessibility tools into our website,” shared Cristabelle Barden, Founder & Executive Director
Hope Survives Boosts Accessibility for Brain Injury Awareness Month
The launch of Recite Me technology on the Hope Survives website coincides with Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about brain injuries and advocating for the needs of survivors.
With an estimated 5.3 million Americans living with a disability related to a traumatic brain injury (TBI), many encounter barriers when trying to access information and support online. Hope Survives is committed to breaking down these barriers by ensuring its website is accessible to all.
“This integration ensures that our online platform is a welcoming space where survivors, their families, and healthcare professionals can easily connect, learn, and find the help they need in a way that works for them.”
The Recite Me toolbar offers a range of features, including text-to-speech functionality, customizable styling, reading aids, and on-demand translation in over 100 languages. These tools support individuals with cognitive difficulties, vision impairments, and other accessibility needs, making it easier for them to engage with the content.
By prioritizing digital accessibility, Hope Survives is taking meaningful action to support the brain injury community. As Brain Injury Awareness Month continues to shine a light on these important issues, the organization remains committed to inclusion, empowerment, and advocacy.
