Specialized Services for People with Disabilities - $75/hr
($50 minimum)
Visual --
If you or
someone you know has any type of vision problem, or is blind, I
help them to read the screen with ease or if necessary hear the screen.
Sometimes this can be accomplished with adjusting windows settings.
Other
times, the solution might involve free or commercial software. There are
usually 30 day demos available to evaluate the commercial programs before
having to actually buy them.
Learning Disabilities - I
have programs and demos to help make reading, writing, and
learning on the computer much easier for you. I can make adjustments
to programs on your computer which will also help.
People with learning disabilities generally have average to
above average intelligence with large discrepancies between their abilities and specific
areas of
difficulty. The affects of learning disabilities may be mild, moderate or severe.
"Learning disability" is a generic term encompassing a wide range of learning and/or social
difficulties. Such difficulties may include one or more of the following areas:
* understanding, remembering or producing language (e.g. speaking, writing, reading, listening,
spelling)
* reasoning
* motor co-ordination
* mathematics
* noticing and remembering social information
* emotional maturation
* processing information
* organization of things, time and/or space
If you know or think you have a learning disability, click on the link
below to take the
Learning Styles Test
from LDPride.net which is a the website of a Canadian woman with LD.
Knowing your learning style will help you develop coping strategies to compensate for your
weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths.
It provides an explanation of what learning styles
and multiple intelligence are all about, an interactive assessment of your learning style/MI, and
practical tips to make your learning style work for you.
Orthopedic - If you or somebody you
know has trouble using a mouse or typing on the
keyboard, there are many alternatives which would make it much easier. Let
me evaluate your situation and find the best cost effective solution.
Stroke Victims or Brain Injured - I
have programs which will help a stroke
victim to improve their speech or a brain injured person to improve their
cognitive abilities. I can train you or a family member to help you
achieve these goals on your computer and recommend any adaptations
you might need for your computer.
