Many people believe that you can't use a computer if you can't see the monitor, but this just isn't true. We teach our students to use screen reading software that speaks the information that is printed on the screen. When a blind person knows how to use this software, she/he can use Microsoft Windows and any Windows-based application including: Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Norton Antivirus, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and many more. We teach our students how to use screen readers, refreshable braille displays, braille notetakers, accessible PDAs, and other access technology. While our students learn how to use the popular applications listed above, our main objective is to teach our students how to teach themselves. Technology is always changing and new applications are constantly being developed. We want to produce graduates who can cope with this change. We teach people the fundamental concepts underlying what they are doing so that they can use this information to reason their way out of problems and figure out the new software they will encounter in the future.
