Services Offered
- Computer Training/Assistive Technology
- Provides computer training and assistance to each client in determining the type of computer, hardware, software and assistive technology that would be most helpful.
- Assessment
- Offers assistive technology assessments to evaluate what technology options will help the client achieve their individual goals. The assessment, sometimes referred to as an evaluation, is client centered and does not evaluate the individual person, but rather his/her ability to use a particular device or software program. This is a fee-based service and clients may be referred from Regional Center, the Department of Rehabilitation or a school district. Following the Assessment, a written report is provided, offering recommendations on both technology and future training as appropriate for the needs and goals of the particular client.
- Employment/Job Training
- Assists individuals who are blind or visually impaired in developing the skills necessary to go back to school, pursue employment and/or gain a greater measure of independence.
