Training

AVTA takes into account your specific learning style when helping you to learn how to use assistive technology and computer applications. Training is done one-on-one on your own system in short 2-3 hour sessions that fit into your school or work schedule. We strive to make the training relevant to you by identifying specific tasks that are vital for you and ensuring that you can use your computer and assistive technology to do those tasks. Reference materials will be custom created for you using a terminology and format that is easy for you to use.

AVTA offers the following training and technical support:

By the end of the training you will be able to dictate into a word processor and send an email using only voice commands.
