Computer
Training for the
Blind and Partially Sighted
The Nanaimo Disability Resource Centre offers a computer technology training course for the blind and visually impaired. It's a successful new initiative. This is the second year of our commitment to skill development for blind and partially sighted students
exploring
a talking interface. . . . . . and
a screen magnifier
You start with individual coaching with an instructor at the DRC. We work with you from where you are today and assist you to reach your goals as a computer user. As you become comfortable using specially designed software such as screen magnifiers and screen readers, you will experience new confidence. New possibilities emerge.
Students feel a sense of freedom to be able to use the computer to find information and communicate with friends and family - opening doors that were previously closed.
We welcome anyone with vision issues to call our office or email Christina for information and to book an appointment.
