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 story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
