NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Making things accessible for people with disabilities or who just need a little extra help can be a game changer.
There's an event happening at the Tennessee State Library & Archives Friday from 9 p.m. to 2 p.m. showcasing how this technology transforms lives.
People are sharing their real-world stories and experiences using innovative tools.
There are resources like GoodMaps which help people who may be visually impaired navigate the world, and Tennessee Low Vision which sells devices that helps those with low vision see and read.
The library also offers services that help people with disabilities and there are demonstrations of those items as well.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
