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

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.
