Colorado is home to 42 state parks. From the mountains to the plains, you’ll find wonderful spots to enjoy the great outdoors. However, not everyone can experience our state in the same way.
Aira is a phone service that acts as a personal interpreter for users. In compliance with the accessibility law and Governor Jared Polis’ “Colorado for All” initiative, state agencies have expanded Aira’s service to include state parks. Theresa Montano is the senior solutions architect of accessibility and plays a major role in making sure all Coloradans have access to the state services they may need. She uses the Aira app often and spearheaded this initiative with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
She explains, the agent accessing the phone camera can skillfully narrate a person’s soundings, “telling us, on the left, there’s a beautiful lake and some boats out there. You see dogs as you’re walking down the path. You get a visual idea of what else is going on besides walking, plus it’s an independence thing.”
