Designed for comfort and ease of use, the Swissvoice Xtra 1110 is a straight forward phone with big easy to press buttons as well as an extra loud receiver volume of up to +30dB.

The Swissvoice Xtra 1110 has 6 photo memory buttons which you can customise with photos of family or friends for quick and easy dialling at the push of a button. There is also an SOS label for anyone who would like to use one of the photo buttons for an emergency contact. Photo buttons can also be useful for anyone who suffers from memory loss.

The large keypad is made up of easy to press buttons which is a nice feature for anyone with limited dexterity and they also have large Braille dots, which is useful for someone with limited vision.

The handset volume can be adjusted (4 levels) and the audio boost key means that the receiver volume can reach up to 30dB. There is also a high quality hands free function which is handy for anyone who struggles to hold the receiver for long periods at a time.

My name is Tina O’Rahilly and I am currently studying for a Master’s in Public Policy in Dublin City University. Following a cycling accident a number of years ago where I suffered a traumatic brain injury, I now have a disability. As someone that was told they may never work again, it has led me to the area concerning people with disabilities and the services available to them when it comes to employment.

You are invited to participate in an online survey for a research paper entitled “To What Extent is the Government achieving its obligation under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities when it comes to Employment Services?”. I am conducting this research as part of a policy analysis exercise. This survey consists of 10 questions and should not take more than 10 minutes to complete. Your replies will be anonymous and there is no option on the survey for you to put in any of your personal details. Completion of this survey is completely voluntary. Returning the survey through the submit link at the end of the survey indicates your consent for use of the answers you supply.
