 Computer Training for the Visually Challenged
Student.

We provide free “assessment of needs” consultation! call toll-free: (877) 937-4777

At no cost to you, you easily can contact our computer training team to help you assess your computer and computer training needs. We will discuss the following questions with you, to help us both understand better what you need, what it will cost, and if there are possible sources of financial help to cover the cost of your training.

Examples of questions we will discuss with you.

  • Is my computer compatible with special software required to aid the visually impaired?
  • What is my skill level and what do I want to do with improved and increased computer skills?
  • Is my job-in-jeopardy: do I need immediate training because my job is at risk?
  • What kind and level of computer training do I need, and how much will the program cost?
  • Am I eligible for state agency assistance?
  • Am I eligible for fee adjustment? Under some circumstances, we can adjust our training costs downward.
  • Are computer training scholarships available for which I may qualify?
  • How can I develop a “friends and family” assistance program?
  • And other related questions

We easily can customize computer training for you.

We can provide training either in our central training facility or remotely where you live or work. Currently, most persons choose remote training because it eliminates travel to our central facility and makes it possible for you to train on your own computer in the comfort of your home or office.

When we train you remotely in your home or office, we assign a personal instructor who will work with you one-on-one. Although the instructor remains in our central office, the Internet tools that both you and the instructor use make it feel like the instructor is sitting right next to you. The instructor sees everything you do on your computer screen and helps talk you through new steps and processes, guiding you to develop new skills and confidence. Our remote training program often is more effective than training in our central facility, because it also encourages you to move forward more independently.
