About Acccess Technology Solutions

Access Technology Solutions operates as a specialized provider of technology and services for the visually impaired. The company was privately established by Craig Schneider, who was motivated by his own personal journey. Formerly a general building contractor, Mr. Schneider lost his sight in 1999 and subsequently experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing and utilizing computer adaptive technology.

This experience, coupled with observing the similar struggles of his classmates, led him to volunteer extensively, refurbishing computers and providing training and advocacy for the visually impaired community before founding the company. Access Technology Solutions aims to equip blind and low-vision individuals with state-of-the-art computer adaptive technology systems. The firm serves both end-users and counselors seeking products and services for this community.

The company's service offerings are comprehensive, including the custom building of computer systems tailored to specific user needs, as well as installations and in-home technology setups. Furthermore, Access Technology Solutions provides system repairs, which involves fixing malfunctioning computers, replacing broken parts, and removing software conflicts or security threats. They also handle system upgrades to enhance user lifestyles or replace obsolete components. A distinct service is their scanning and printing capability, which includes converting text documents into Braille and digitizing entire textbooks onto CDs for clients to read. The business model appears to be based on direct sales of products and fees for services such as repairs, upgrades, training, and custom system builds.
