[Trainer-Talk] El Braille

Wed Apr 6 13:39:03 UTC 2022

Hi Travis:

As an employee for a dealer of the Freedom Scientific branch of Vispero products and an Assistive Technology Specialist, I do presentations and train individuals on the Focus and ElBraille on a weekly basis.  We are actually doing a Zoom Presentation on the Focus and ElBraille today.   Although it is only a presentation, and not a training, you and everyone else are welcome to join.  If you are interested in discussing training after that, I will include my work signature where you are welcome to contact me to discuss this.

Learning Outcomes

I am a good trainer but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to work on and any assistance would be appreciated. I would like to set up zoom sessions to add a possible. We can work out the fee. As this is not through the state.
