Using Bump Ons

Bump Ons

Welcome to this section of our Digital Hub. This video will demonstrate the use of tactile markers around the home.

Thanks to Nadia for this wonderful video on how to utilise Bump Ons around the home to make life that little bit easier for you if you are living with sight loss.

Bump Ons are tactile adhesive stickers that you can stick onto anything to allow you to locate the object that you are looking for, for example, some really handy uses for Bump Ons could be on your front door key so it can be located quickly; household appliances such as ovens, washing machines and dryers or your microwave so you can quickly locate the correct buttons and settings; on your keyboards to highlight a certain key; your television remote; light switches; key holes….or anything that you can think of.

They are inexpensive and can be found in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes and textures so you can be super creative when using them! Take a look on Amazon here.

We hope you find Nadia’s video useful, and we would love to know how you use Bump Ons to make your life easier, so do get in touch and let us know!
