Introduction to Assistive Technology for the Visually Impaired (VOVI 0100)

The purpose of this course is to introduce blind and visually impaired students to the range of adaptive technology available to them in their daily lives, at work or at school. The course will enable students to use adaptive classroom equipment and computers more effectively, and so, would be a useful first course for students planning to attend our other courses. Students will also learn enough about adaptive technology and available resources to enable them to make informed choices about what they need to make their lives easier.
