Making Higher Education Accessible - Be My Eyes

Making Higher Education Accessible

Higher education should be accessible to every student, current and prospective. Yet students who are blind or have low vision routinely hit barriers such as scanned PDFs that were never built for a screen reader, LMS platforms with inaccessible elements, support services that are hard to navigate, and even the application process itself. Be My Eyes helps higher education institutions close these gaps, giving students equitable access and staff the tools to support them from admissions through graduation.

Why Be My Eyes for Higher Education?

Be My Eyes turns accessibility into a genuine advantage for higher education. Students get instant, on-demand visual interpretation for the everyday moments that matter, from lectures to tackling coursework, building the confidence to engage with college life fully. Disability services and IT teams get their time back, spending less on manual remediation and one-to-one support and more on the work that moves the institution forward. Together, this can support higher engagement and retention among students who are blind or have low vision, while demonstrating a clear, lived commitment to accessibility that sets your institution apart.
