Accessible Computer Training

Eliminate the mystery of the computer! This is not a traditional computer course, but a relaxed environment with professional assistance. The ACT Program is designed as an introductory course to offer basic computer training to anyone who is blind or visually impaired. This is an excellent curriculum for introduction to computers, and includes basic Windows, word processing, Internet and email skills, using a screen reader or magnification program.
