Computer Training
Computers have opened the world of print to those unable to see and reduced many barriers to education and employment for the blind and visually impaired. Students can now complete homework, do research and take tests, while adults can continue to work and pursue a variety of careers in mainstream society.
The agency is now in the planning stages to be able to provide computer instruction to enable blind and visually impaired customers to learn screen reading and magnification software such as JAWS and ZoomText. These programs allow the user to access the information displayed on the computer’s screen through the use of synthesized speech output or enlarged text.
