Access Technology Institute trains blind and visually impaired students and professionals to use technology with skill and confidence. Every course we teach includes original written and recorded documentation that we create in-house. This documentation is part of the learning process, not an afterthought. We build resources that support the lesson today and serve as a reference tomorrow.
We teach through concept-driven training. Instead of memorizing keyboard commands, students learn Windows concepts, controls, and navigation strategies. Our goal is to build understanding that applies across applications and situations, not to teach isolated keyboard commands.
