An increasing number of individuals are particularly interested in computer technology and keyboarding skills, since these classes fulfill students' needs for social as well as career development.
In addition to the programs listed, students can also receive instruction in how to use other assistive devices such as Braillewriters, note-takers, and CCTV's. At the foundation, a nutritionist helps modify meal offerings for those with special health needs, and the program teaches blind people how to safely prepare their own meals at home.
