Barbara Dunn, services manager and deputy chief executive at Vision Norfolk, said: “Technology is playing a major role in helping people living with sight loss lead independent lives.
“These classes, which focus on using laptops, will guide vision impaired users through a range of accessible digital tools and suggest tips and techniques to help them get the most out of what technology can do for them.”
The course content will be tailored to the specific needs of the participants to help them make the most of the opportunities laptop-based technology can offer them.
The free taster session on December 4 will run from 10am to 12pm at Vision Norfolk’s Norwich hub in the Bradbury Activity Centre on Edward Street.
