The obvious example is a white stick and it's a red sticks for deaf people.

wondered if sat nav constituted an aid for those who get disorientated and lost easly due to developmental disorder or sight loss due to double vision - ( no white stick though) as its partial loss. which is more relevant

You can argue that it is, currently it is not considered an aid, but it would not be to your advantage to do so, the primary test is whether you can reliably follow or navigate a route on the majority of days, so you should concentrate on showing that you cannot do this and why.
