[Colorado-Talk] Technology Training

[Showe Trela]

I absolutely love my job! In just the past two weeks, I’ve had the privilege of celebrating so many milestones with my clients who are blind or low vision:  

- One typed their very first text message—without Siri.  
- Another mastered touch-typing in a month.  
- A client created their first charts in Excel.  
- Someone connected their Braille display to their iPhone.  
- Another scheduled appointments in Outlook and customized their screen reader settings.  
- One navigated QuickBooks using place markers like a pro.  
- A client learned to collaborate in Google Docs and mastered the virtual PC cursor.  
- Another organized their Outlook inbox and searched emails with ease.  
- A client scheduled and invited me to Zoom meetings using Google Calendar.  
- Someone started using Voice Access to manage email to assist with overcoming their severe neuropathy.  
- A client boosted their social media presence by updating and navigating their Facebook page.  
- Another recorded their very first track using a DAW with JAWS.  

All of this happened in just two weeks! 🎉  

Every day, I get to walk alongside my clients as they gain confidence, independence, and the technology skills to thrive at work or prepare for employment.
