Adaptive technology courses

We teach our members in the classroom environment about assistive technology and how to increase their computer skills.

Our courses are useful for members whose sight is changing and want to use new technology, or those who want to up-skill to get a new job. We have courses suitable for anyone from beginner to advanced.
