Depending on the needs of the individual and the nature of the disability, accommodation may involve: providing forms and instructions in Braille, large print or on audio tape; providing assistance at the counter in filling out necessary paperwork; having written materials read out loud in the courtroom; allowing the person to sit closer than usual if of limited vision, or to provide additional lighting if the lighting is a problem. People who are blind or visually disabled often can be assisted by increasing the size of an object, by changing viewing distance, by improving illumination, and by improving contrast. Changing size and distance go hand in hand. Size can be changed in several different ways: an object can be made larger (such as a big-button telephone), materials can be reproduced larger (such as large print), a nearby object can be enlarged (using a magnifier), or a far-away object can be enlarged (using a telescope). Devices can be set into glass frames, some of which are bioptic.
The most critical consideration for a low-vision individual is lighting. The midday offers the best light. Halogen bulbs and lamps that place direct light on a subject are highly recommended. When considering which bulbs to use, incandescent bulbs with a high wattage are preferred over florescent. Florescent bulbs throw off a glaring blue light. If the person with a visual disability is referring to notes, additional light (such as a gooseneck lamp) may be necessary.
Contrast in written materials also can be important. The more the words crowded onto a page and the more similar the ink and paper colors, the less one can discriminate. Using 14-point or larger black type on yellow paper will greatly increase the readability of materials.

Beware of jury duty phone scams! The community is urged to be vigilant regarding an active telephone impersonation scam. These scams typically occur in the form of a phone call, where an individual impersonates someone from the local sheriff’s office or court and requests money due to a missed jury summons.
Note that law enforcement or courts will never reach out by phone to demand money for a missed jury summons, and these should be ignored. Correspondence from court jury offices regarding a missed summons will arrive in the form of an official legal document in the mail, titled “Failure to Appear Notice”.
If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be a police officer, please report the information to your local sheriff’s department and notify the Colorado State Attorney General’s Office of the activity by visiting their Stop Fraud Colorado website. Reports of fraud or scams may also be reported to the Federal Trade Commission.
To check whether you received a jury summons, please contact your county jury commissioner https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/jury/jury-commissioners-county
