CILWW would like to share a cost-effective assistive device designed to support individuals with low vision: the Big Button Universal TV remote. This remote is specifically tailored for seniors and features large, color-coded tactile buttons to facilitate ease of use. It incorporates only three essential functions: Volume Up/Down, Channel Up/Down, and an On/Off button. Furthermore, it is compatible with all major TV brands as well as cable and satellite boxes, all integrated into one device.
An optional Favorite Channel feature allows users to program up to 30 preferred channels, streamlining the viewing experience. Additionally, the setup includes a lock feature to prevent any unintended reprogramming of the TV. This remote operates using two AAA batteries (not included). Assistance with setup may be beneficial, given the varying levels of experience and age among users.
The Flipper Big Button Universal TV remote is available for purchase through online retailers such as Amazon and Walmart, with a retail price of approximately $40.00.
CILWW offers the opportunity for individuals to borrow or try out items mentioned in our articles before making a purchase.
To learn more about this assistive device or other devices that can improve your independence, please contact CILWW at 715-233-1070 or 800-228-3287. Our services are provided free of charge. However, we do not directly fund the purchase of assistive technology. Through the WisTech Assistive Technology Program, CILWW provides a variety of services, including information on alternative financing options like WisLoan, Telework, and TEPP, upon request.
