Carol Swart
Financial Manager
Living in Gauteng.
My name is Carol Swart and I am a sighted person. I love to assist people with disabilities, specially those with sight and hearing loss. I am a Director of LCS Assistive Technologies. Leon and I are married, therefore I can understand the frustration that a visually impaired person has to go through on a daily basis. My motto is “knowledge is power” and therefore we as a team can overcome all barriers.

I was born blind due to my optic nerve degenerating. I’m a musician, massage therapist and have a passion for training and helping others. I use Jaws or NVDA on my PC, and Talkback on my phone.
