colleagues at Christmas can be a difficult and strenuous task. For many, gift-giving is an annual minefield where we worry ourselves about everything from settling on a socially acceptable price, whether a gift is too generic and impersonal, and perhaps whether we are trying too hard. However, for the millions of people with disabilities in America and their loved ones, deciding a gift based on factors of practicality is thrown into the mix.<\/p><p>As a team of almost entirely disabled people, Direct Access understands this grievance and then some, so we are proud to present an accessible suggestion list for those hoping to surprise a visually impaired, hard of hearing, or autistic loved one this Christmas, covering all ages \u2013 (based a tiny bit on our personal preference!).<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Gift Ideas for Visually Impaired People<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>Braille and Large Print Playing Cards \u2013 Easily one of the cheapest options on this list and simply a great stocking filler, a pack of playing cards is a gift that can be used again and again by people of all ages with their friends and family. They also allow card games to become an accessible activity for all.<\/p><p>Spotify Premium Subscription \u2013 We would first like to take this opportunity to say that we are in no way affiliated with or sponsored by this streaming service, however, due to its status as a fully accessible app, as well as being reasonably priced for the consumer, we can only recommend it as a great Christmas gift \u2013 especially as the service offers its own gift range!\u00a0 With Spotify Premium, you can explore endless personalized and public playlists and listen to both new and classic albums without being forced to sit through advertisements.<\/p><p>Futsal Ball \u2013 The futsal ball is a low-bounce ball that is smaller than a normal outdoor football and a perfect gift for children with an enthusiasm for the sport. They are cheap but can be priceless to a child. For the younger ones, a futsal ball can be key to nurturing their confidence in their other senses. However, if football isn\u2019t their cup of tea, you can find many other sporting goods that are specially designed for blind and visually impaired people.<\/p><p>UNO Braille Card Game Edition \u2013 A classic card game embossed with contracted braille in the top left and bottom right corners. Suitable for ages seven and upwards, the pack contains 108 cards that are easy to see. A fun game that is great for families and friends.<\/p><p>iPad\/iPhone \u2013 If you\u2019re feeling particularly generous, this piece of tech is packed like many Apple products are with great accessibility features, including an advanced screen reader that will read the screen for you at a single touch, the Siri AI assistant that will help do everyday tasks on the phone or iPad, color inversion and grayscale, Speak Screen. allowing users to have their emails read to them, and Dictation which allows your voice to type the replies for you.<\/p><p>Large Print Word Search\/Crossword\/Sudoku Books \u2013 Perfect for visually impaired people who are older and less attuned to technology, there\u2019s a huge variety of puzzle book options on the market that are both challenging and addictive.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Gift Ideas for Hearing Impaired People<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>TV Listening Device\/Soundbar \u2013 Understanding television can be difficult for those with hearing loss, but there are many devices available that can help make the TV listening experience more enjoyable. These can take form in everything from wireless headphone devices that allow the user to adjust the volume of the TV independent of others present to soundbars that can be hooked up to the TV and improve general sound clarity as well as built-in hearing aid compatibility.<\/p><p>Smart Jewellery \u2013 A great glamorous gift that looks aesthetically pretty with practical use to boot, Smart Jewellery will vibrate and\/or flash a light when an important phone call, message, email, or alert comes in on your smartphone. This would make a perfect gift not only for anyone who struggles to hear their phone but also for anyone who never remembers to keep their phone on their person!<\/p><p>Books \u2013 There are many books out there that can help ease children\u2019s transition into wearing hearing aids or simply adjust to the reality of hearing loss. Healthy Hearing\u2019s website lists several of which are suitable for children of various ages.<\/p><p>Painting Kit \/ Camera \u2013 One of the facts of experiencing hearing loss is the eventual strengthening of our other senses, although any deaf person with a sharp eye hoping to take up a new hobby would be perfectly suited to this gift. In fact, many of us on the Direct Access team enjoy drawing and photography in our pastime because pursuing artistic hobbies has only led to positive effects in our lives beyond pure enjoyment. Furthermore, getting someone with a hearing impairment a painting kit or a camera can lead to them finding a talent they never knew they had.<\/p><p>Hearing Loop System \u2013 A Hearing Loop system is a device that unlocks a deaf person\u2019s ability to enjoy life\u2019s pleasures like music, watching TV, and listening to the radio. It\u2019s not the most glamorous gift out there, but these devices can be truly life-enhancing if not life-changing.<\/p><p>Direct Access has partnered with industry pioneers Ampetronic to offer our own hearing loop systems that comply with the international standard IEC 60118-4. Our founder, Steven Mifsud, as well as our company\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, are both deaf themselves and personally approved this device after much scrutiny.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Gift Ideas for Autistic People<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>Marble Runs \u2013 This one is a tad based on my personal childhood taste, but when I was a child, I was obsessed with marble runs, and even as an autistic adult find them fun to watch, as does my brother who is also autistic.<\/p><p>Lava Lamps \u2013 Lava Lamps are an aesthetically pleasing and calming presence in any room. They can add warmth and color to an environment with a brightness that isn\u2019t too intense or overwhelming visually. A bubble lamp or any of that fun sensory stuff would be a great addition to any autistic person\u2019s stocking.<\/p><p>Noise Cancelling Headphones \u2013 Another based on my personal experience, I was overjoyed to receive a pair of these for Christmas next year as I am a huge music buff and find listening to music in public environments with chaotic and contradicting noises extremely distracting. These would be a great gift for an autistic person of any age, especially if they are particularly into gaming or tech in general.<\/p><p>Anything Pok\u00e9mon-related \u2013 Another one from my childhood, I sincerely believe there\u2019s a reason that Pok\u00e9mon has endured nearly three generations and remains the most successful media franchise of all time; the possibilities and the sheer number of creatures in the world of the show, cards, and video games are enormous, endless, and utterly enveloping. The creator of the franchise, Satoshi Tajiri, is autistic himself, which I firmly believe has something to do with its success and popularity with autistic children. A fascinating article about this can be found here.<\/p><p>Ask us! \u2013 This applies to all family members, friends, and colleagues regardless of their disability. Often, people can get caught in the trap of getting a disabled person a gift related specifically to that disability, when the reality is that most disabled people have specific interests that are unrelated to the way our disability forces us to live our lives slightly differently. We may communicate differently and learn differently from a neurotypical or non-disabled person, but inside we all have the same likes, dislikes, and wishes!<\/p><p><strong>Written by Michael Miller (Autistic Consultant and Marketing Executive)<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-def7338 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"def7338\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d89fd5\" data-id=\"8d89fd5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cc2d576 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cc2d576\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c0a6d2\" data-id=\"5c0a6d2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a39cf1 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"3a39cf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Post Navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/us\/news\/uber-sued-by-u-s-justice-department-for-disability-discrimination\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-left\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Uber Sued by U.S Justice Department for Disability Discrimination<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/us\/case-studies\/bethel-vermont\/\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">Town of Bethel, VT Accessibility Plan<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fdf52f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4fdf52f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deciding on a gift to get your loved ones, friends, and colleagues at Christmas can be a difficult and strenuous task.
