Training is essential. Training needs can vary, depending on the complexity of the computer system, the person's disabilities which may affect their rate of learning, their past experience with computers, and special factors such as language or medication. Training will need to be sensitive, patient and tailored to the needs of the individual. Ability has considerable experience in providing training for people with disabilities. We offer this at the Ability Research Centre or at the person's home or place of work.
Ability can provide training for groups in workplaces.
In cases where a person lives too far away to access Ability's services, we can design training programs for use by other trainers. These training programs will specify the nature and extent of the training required. Computer-based multimedia training can be a convenient option for many people. It is inexpensive, as well as allowing people to learn at their own pace at home. Training modules can also be reviewed as often as required.
