Description

The Halos Tactile Icon Washer Stickers make it easier for people who are blind or have low vision to identify and use common washing machine controls. These self-adhesive tactile stickers feature distinctive raised shapes that represent different washer functions, allowing users to locate controls by touch.

The brightly colored stickers also provide an additional visual cue for people with low vision who use both touch and remaining vision. The HALOS system uses consistent tactile shapes to represent appliance functions, helping users recognize controls across compatible appliances.

Benefits for Blind and Low Vision Users

The Halos Tactile and Brightly Colored Washer Stickers can help make a washing machine’s controls easier to identify independently. Each function is represented by a different raised shape, allowing users to locate and distinguish controls through touch rather than relying exclusively on visual labels.

The bright colors provide an additional visual reference for people with usable vision. This combination of tactile shapes and color contrast can make frequently used washer controls easier to find and identify.

The washer sticker set includes two of each of the following tactile icons:

• Start is shaped like a sideways triangle
• Cancel is shaped like a cross
• Heavy is shaped like a filled in cone
• Normal is shaped like a half filled cone
• Light is shaped like an empty cone
• Rinse is shaped like a shower head
• Spin Speed is shaped like a half circle
• Soil level is shaped like stairs

That provides 18 tactile stickers in total.

Who Is It For?

The Halos washer stickers are ideal for:

• People who are blind
• People with low vision
• Seniors who have difficulty reading appliance controls
• Individuals seeking greater independence with household tasks
• Families supporting someone with a visual impairment
• Occupational therapists and vision professionals
• Independent living programs
• Accessible home environments

Why Choose Halos Tactile Washer Stickers?

Washing machines increasingly use flat, touch-sensitive controls that can be difficult to identify without vision. Halos Tactile Icon Washer Stickers add raised, recognizable shapes to commonly used controls, providing an accessible way to identify both the location and function of washer buttons.

The HALOS system is designed around consistent tactile symbols, so users can learn what a particular shape represents and apply that knowledge to other compatible appliance controls.
