 if the remote ever expands to work with more televisions independent of one type of cable box, it will easily top most current market offerings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;margin-bottom:1rem">

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">When choosing the best accessible TV remote for elderly or disabled users, it’s important to start by evaluating your current setup and making a list of what your new remote will need

 to do. Start by writing down the functions that are necessary to reach your favorite channels and apps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;margin-bottom:1rem">

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">On some televisions, this list might include volume control, mute, power, and channel up/down functions. However, for many televisions, an “input” or “source” button is also required

 to get to the television area. Try turning your TV off and on a few times to make sure you know exactly how yours functions. If you or your loved one watches apps or streaming services, you’ll also need “right” and “left” buttons somewhere on the remote. Ideally,

 the new remote has a way to type in letters for searching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;margin-bottom:1rem">

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">Next, think about whether this remote is going to be your only remote for this device, or whether there can be multiple remotes available for troubleshooting problems. If you work in

 a medical facility or are a caregiver, for instance, it might be ideal to have as few buttons on the remote as possible to eliminate accidental switches to other inputs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;margin-bottom:1rem">

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">If modern features like apps will be used so rarely that it’s worth helping any time they are needed, a simpler remote might be the best option. However, if the goal is for you or your

 loved one to be able to use this remote as their only remote, and to do all basic functions of their television themselves, that will limit your options considerably.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;margin-bottom:1rem">

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212529">Lastly, and most importantly, consider the individual needs of the remote user. Bigger buttons and greater contrast can help those with poor eyesight, but voice control may be necessary

 for those with more severe visual or dexterity impairment. A wrist strap may be helpful for those with less fine motor skills and those who experience unexpected movements, as it will keep the remote from being dropped out of reach. On the other hand, if fighting

 with the technology itself is likely to prove the biggest challenge, a remote that is as simple as possible after setup might be ideal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
