Why the name satalight® ?

By virtue of its accessibility for individuals with autism and physically disabled children, the InfoCor satalight® represents an entirely new opportunity for engagement.

From a parent/teacher/therapist point of view, the name satalight® represents a “light at the end of the tunnel” and embodies everything that this product represents—access, enlightenment, education and engagement.

The spelling of satalight® was purposeful in that it incorporates the concept of enlightenment along with a relationship to the technology and the reach that technology allows.

The satalight® HD is extremely easy to use for teachers as well as students at all age levels. Its innovative design makes lifting, lowering and tilting the flat screen monitor a snap, while its tip-resistant, four-wheeled locking design allows for easy movement from room to room

Every satalight® HD has a 40” (46" also available) DST touch screen, you can lean on the glass with one hand, and press hard with a fingertip to operate software. Use it with students who use wheelchairs, yet have good motor control and strength in their arms and upper body. It is great for ED, BD and ASD classes, where some students might stand at the satalight and others are seated around it. Use it with some visually impaired students, if you want very crisp images and a screen that can be angled for best visibility.
