From darkness to light. From confinement to freedom. From depression to elation. I tried every metaphor, but none captured the impact of Access Technology. In 1995, like the flick of a switch, life turned from sepia to technicolor. With the buzz and squeal of a modem, we entered Oz.

There’s another light on the horizon. A new mindset is taking root. It’s reshaping how we teach and how students learn.
Concept-Driven training throws away the keyboard guide and teaches keyboard commands in context. It offers the best of both worlds.
there’s more waiting behind the curtain, and it’s time we gave the blind community the tools to reach it. Concept-driven training is the future.
