Accessible Menus in Restaurants, Children's Author Jixie Dye
Visually impaired children's author Jixie Dye joins Peter in the In Touch studio to discuss her new children's book, The Welsh Witch, and her subsequent series.
Matt Wadsworth has, for the last decade or so, been working to make fellow visually impaired people's access to the food industry much easier. He developed the concept of Good Food Talks, which is now available as a free app, and it can provide a raft of restaurant menus in an accessible format and on the go. Matt has been working with food data management company Nutritics, to reach more providers in the industry. Nutritics are currently conducting research, that aims to better understand visually impaired people's access to the food industry.
