Vito A. Proscia, Founder of IRTI, has over a half century experience
in developing and evaluating products for the visually impaired and
blind. Vito Proscia started as a professional electronics engineer in
the aerospace industry, was appointed Director of the Sensory Aids Evaluation
and Development Center at MIT, became Vice President of Marketing at Telesensory Corp. early in the '70's, a founder of Optacon Fund (Sensory
Access Foundation), and a Trustee of National Braille Press. This
experience is the basis upon which IRTI has been established.
The Mission
Founded in 1979 our mission was to locate low cost consumer electronic devices and through accessible documentation or modification enabled these tools for use by the blind and low vision. Vito felt there was a great need for this service, which would reduce the cost of assistive technology for people with disabilities. In 1984 I.R.T.I. entered the World of Talking Book Devices. I.R.T.I. was the first company to modify a SONYŽ Walkman to play Library of congress format (NLS) talking books for the blind. For the first time talking books for the blind were a portable means of reading and writing. Blind students were now able to read talking books anywhere and take notes with the Walkman by recording to tape. What is I.R.T.I. Doing Today? I.R.T.I. is a software and hardware developer and reseller specializing in high tech products and services for the blind, low Vision and individuals with learning differences.
