Did you know that the visually impaired can use computers?
The majority of jobs require that an individual be able to utilize a computer. Through our Technology Evaluation and Training Program, the visually impaired are trained on the latest technology available, enabling them to participate in academic, employment and independent-living environments.
Ongoing advancements in assistive technology such as screen readers provide speech output for computer access and closed circuit televisions (CCTV's) that allow printed materials to be enlarged, creating opportunities for the visually impaired. These individuals are able to pursue careers and live independently.
Forty percent of individuals with visual impairments who are employed are now able to use computers on the job. Through this training, blindness is no longer an obstacle in achieving career goals.
