  Dear Sir or Madam,

Participation in all areas of life – this may sound unspectacular to many, but it is often not a matter of course. People with visual impairments, for example, are often forgotten when it comes to self-determined communication. To find out how the manufacturer Dot Incorporation wants to change this with the Dot Pad, read our current We asked interview.

Have a sunny week!

Clothes should fit comfortably. They should make you feel great and be easy to put on and take off. Unfortunately, many "off-the-rack" clothes don’t meet these criteria. Those who don’t sport the measurements of the average woman or man find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. This includes people who use wheelchairs and people with restricted mobility.
