Intro to Access Technology - Online
–
Jul 14
What is accessible technology and how do we learn to use it? If you, a friend or family member are a person who is new to blindness or having low vision, or new to using access technology tools, this event is for you.
We’ll demonstrate how you can use mainstream tools like smartphones, voice assistants, and computers, as well as a few specialized gadgets for reading books and recording information at the touch of a button. We’ll talk about what services and resources are available for learning to use these tools, and we’ll give some tips for friends and family members who want to be supportive of the learning process.
This event will be conducted using the Zoom platform. You can connect to Zoom using a computer, an app, or by dialing in from any phone. Zoom meeting details will be provided when you RSVP. Email is the best way for us to send you the Zoom details, but if your household doesn’t have an email address yet, please share that in your RSVP so we can arrange to share the conference call information with you.
RSVP to AT@lighthouse-sf.org or by leaving a voicemail at 415-694-7368.
