| Assistive Technology With six qualified staff, we provide one-on-one instruction to almost 150 individuals. We instruct using adaptive and assistive hardware and software. For example, we use enlarged stickers on the keyboards for individuals who are visually impaired, touch-screens for people unable to use a mouse, and specialized software for those with cognitive impairments. Each individual served has a personalized goal. They visit the center for an average of six hours per month for instruction. Their needs are assessed, and based on that assessment, our staff uses Assistive Technology to meet client needs and help them reach their goals. The Center also provides training and assessments for basic typing skills, Internet, Microsoft Office Suite, voice recognition, and Quicken. The Center has a Blind Workstation that is designed with specialized hardware and software for those who are visually impaired. A Braille printer is also available.

We also produce a quarterly newsletter, All Roads Lead to AT, featuring articles by staff and clients. Different sections of the newsletter contain software and hardware information, beneficial websites, and Deaf Culture articles including basic sign language, poetry and jokes. Clients take special pride in typing articles and producing this project every quarter. Please call (219) 464-9621 to speak with Jenn Faner or Pam White for more information. |
