Assistive Technology workshops and sessions
If you want to feel more confident and knowledgeable about the world of technology, then join our Assistive Technology sessions. Our Senior Accessibility Advisor Alex can provide support with using a wide range of devices such as smart phones, computers, tablets, braille readers and much more to help you get the most out of them.
He can also offer support in how your everyday devices can be used to help you with all aspects of your lives like travel, money, wellbeing and fitness, being more independent and school or college. You can arrange a personal session online with Alex, designed just for you, or you and your family. We also run a range of group workshops online.
Sessions usually last between 1 and 1.5 hours and can be arranged whenever suits you.
