Is your blind or low vision student or child struggling with using a
computer?  Do you wish you knew more about assistive technology so that you
could offer guidance and support?  De Witt & Associates, nationally known
Assistive Technology trainers, teaches hundreds of blind and low vision
individuals per year. Based on our experience, we have built two classes for
parents, teachers, aides, co-workers, disability service providers, in fact,
anyone who is eager to be a resource for a blind or low vision computer
user, but is not visually impaired themselves. 

 

Classes include:


Introduction to Screen Readers/Magnifiers 


Subjects include:

.        What is a screen reader or screen magnifier?

.        Basic Reading Keystrokes

.        Screen Reader/Magnifier terminology

.        Learning to listen

.        How to get Help when you need it and more....

 


Advanced Screen Readers/Magnifiers


Subjects include:

.        How to get an overview of a Web page

.        Doing Internet research

.        Downloading books 

.        What to do when a web page does not work well with a screen
reader/magnifier

.        Customizing reader/magnifier settings and more....

 

These classes are delivered using remote access software, pc-to-pc. You will
need to have a working Internet connection. You will be working with a live
trainer, who can answer your questions and help build your skills and
confidence as a computer resource. Each class is 2 hours long and is priced
at $179, which includes a handout package for future reference.  The class
is scheduled at a time and date that is convenient for you and the trainer.
You are under no obligation to take both classes, though we recommend a
basic Assistive Technology understanding if you would like to take the
Advanced class.
