Training is also provided on a wide variety of popular apps that provide the visually impaired with a high degree of mobility, independence and empowerment at work, at school, and at home.

What People Say about AT Training

“I went from a failing, potential drop out, to a college graduate because of assistive technology training.”
“I began to lose hope because my vision loss was about to be used to justify my termination. However, after being trained to use assistive technology to operate the computer I was able to keep my job until natural retirement.”
