CSVR is happy to announce that through the joint efforts of Cheryl Bradley of the Fairhope Public Library, volunteer Anne Hinrichs, AiSquared, Project A.C.T. (Accessible Computer Training) and Dr. Joe Fontenot of Community Services for Vision Rehabilitation (CSVR) there will be a new educational program for visually impaired computer users.
We thank AiSquared, maker of Zoom Text and other adaptive software, for their generous support and encouragement. We also appreciate software and keyboards obtained through Project A.C.T., a grant program funded by the Alabama Council for Developmental Disabilities.
The program is scheduled to start in October. It will begin with a talk on low vision and the aids and devices available -including computer accessibility features and special computer software .This will be held on Wednesday, October 12 from 1:15 to 2:00 PM in the Giddens Auditorium at Fairhope Public Library.
Following this introductory talk, there will be a computer workshop on accessibility programs by Anne Hinrichs, volunteer computer instructor for the Fairhope Public Library. This will be from 2:30 to 3:30. If you want to go to this program, advance registration is needed. E-mail reference@fairhopelibrary.org or call 251-929-1464.
We are excited about this program, which will be on-going and a great help to the visually impaired of Baldwin County. It will be coordinated with the existing computer education programs at the Fairhope Public Library.
