I'm really sorry for my previous message, I was trying to forward this message and I clicked reply instead. I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't a good course, just that it wasn't useful for a very experienced member of staff.

Subject: An introduction to Access Technology - 10 November 2005
Dear Colleague
Re: An introduction to Access Technology - 10 November 2005
Access Technology aids visually impaired people of all ages to gain access to information of all kinds. The proliferation of information technology means that many professionals come into contact with these specialist technologies, but often do not understand their function and potential.
This day will give delegates an overview of the different Access Technologies that are available and why people with different visual impairments need different technologies.
The day will present an opportunity for delegates to get their hands on equipment and software including: Screen Readers, Screen Magnifiers, Speech Synthesis, Notetakers, Reading machines, Braille output devices, Closed Circuit Television magnification
This course will provide delegates with:
1. A good grounding in the types of Access Technology and their uses. 2. Practice in basic training and demonstration techniques. 3. A good understanding of the basic skills that are required to deliver high quality, one-to-one coaching or small group training to others. 4. A practical and hands-on approach to training/coaching in a VI environment.
