> Henderson, NV - Laura Legendary, owner of Elegant Insights Braille Creations, has organized an all-day, online accessible experience for seniors and consumers with disabilities called "Let's Go Shopping!" On Saturday, April 4th, from 7 AM PT to 7 PM PT, shoppers will be able to call or connect to the Zoom platform to shop for gifts for Easter, Passover, Mother's Day, graduations, or any upcoming gift-giving occasion. With millions of people in self-isolation, getting out to shop is all but impossible for those with limited mobility.
>
> People with disabilities, seniors, and those in rural areas with limited bandwidth or lack of access to help from their children, in-home health care provider, or personal assistant may find navigating web sites to go shopping online difficult. "People with print or cognitive disabilities who would normally have access to assistive technology through their workplace, or a care worker who they rely on to accomplish shopping tasks may now find themselves cut off, thanks to the need to remain at home. As a result, they may find online shopping to be cognitively burdensome," says Legendary. "My goal with the Let's Go Shopping event was two-fold: Not only to give micro businesses a boost, but to bring a virtual shopping mall to customers," says Legendary, who is blind. "Besides, we could all use a little retail therapy about now."

> Attendees will access the live online mall using the Zoom Video Conferencing platform. Zoom has been a lifesaver for students and parents who need to connect with teachers and colleagues. Zoom enables users to sign in using a desktop, laptop, smartphone app, or even their landline telephone. Brent Harbolt, of The Harbolt Company, one of the participating vendors, has donated the Zoom room for the event. "Let's Go Shopping is an opportunity for me to reach new customers who are looking for gadgets to make their life a little easier, provide product descriptions, and directly answer people's questions in real time," says Harbolt.
>
> All of the small business owners participating in the "Let's Go Shopping" event have a disability. Vendors include A T Guys, Patti and Ricky, GuideLights and Gadgets Inc., Elegant Insights Braille Creations, Hartgen Consultancy, and more. Shoppers will be able to purchase artisan crafted dolls, home fragrance and beauty products, independent living aids, adaptive apparel and accessories, ceramics, and braille jewelry.
