A Complete Solution for School-Wide Adoption
Meeting Student Learning Needs
📌Challenge
Schools need assistive technology that provides high-quality viewing and versatile functionality to support students’ different learning needs.
✨How Snow Pad Helps
Snow Pad combines high-quality magnification with split-screen viewing, OCR, text-to-speech, and other essential features found in electronic magnifiers, helping students access classroom materials and work more independently.
Simplify Device Deployment and Training
📌Challenge
Introducing assistive technology can require device setup, teacher onboarding, student training, and ongoing guidance. Schools need visual impairment solutions that are easy to implement and use.
✨How Snow Pad Helps
Snow Pad is designed for quick adoption without complex installation. Its integrated camera works with compatible tablets, while built-in tutorial videos help students and educators learn essential functions at their own pace.
Extend the Value of Existing Technology Investments
📌Challenge
Schools may already have tablets and other digital learning technology. Adding low vision support should not require replacing an entire technology system.
✨How Snow Pad Helps
Snow Pad works with compatible tablets, allowing schools to build on their existing technology resources. This helps improve technology utilization, reduce unnecessary system replacement, and support more sustainable technology planning.
Evaluation and Deployment Support
📌Challenge
Schools need to understand whether a low vision solution meets students’ actual needs before making broader purchasing decisions.
✨How Snow Pad Helps
Schools can request a demo unit and let students experience Snow Pad during real learning activities. This hands-on evaluation helps vision educators and administrators make informed decisions about adoption and deployment.
Reliable Long-Term Service
📌Challenge
A successful technology investment requires more than the initial purchase. Schools also need confidence in warranty coverage, maintenance, and technical support.
✨How Snow Pad Helps
Snow Pad is backed by Zoomax’s 20+ years of experience in low vision technology and a global service network. With a 2-year warranty, professional technical assistance, and repair support, schools can adopt Snow Pad with greater confidence.

Why Schools Select Snow Pad
Linda H.
Special Education Director
The Snow Pads have been great for our students because they move so easily between the resource room and general ed classrooms — and even home for a few kids. Teachers picked it up fast, no long training needed. Zoomax was also helpful getting us set up, but honestly the device itself is pretty intuitive.
Marcus D.
Principal
Instead of buying a separate magnifier for each type of room — regular classrooms, labs, library — we got a couple Snow Pads that students can carry with them. Saved us a lot of money, and the kids actually use them more because they always have them on hand. Good investment for our special ed budget.
Priya S.
District Administrator
We piloted Snow Pads in a few schools, and the Zoomax team made the whole process easy — clear demo, quick answers, and they actually followed up after we bought them. Rollout was simple, teachers didn't need much training, and the devices hold up well as students move around during the day.
