Good Morning All,

Here at the SC Commission for the Blind when we bring in consumers to assess their skills for training.  We assess their typing skills, over all computer skills with the assistive technology they have used in the past, and spelling and vocabulary.  What other areas are agencies assessing consumers in before entering training for employment?  Also, what are you using to assess the consumers with?  Thanks for your help!
