ESTIA launches its Assistive Technology (Digital) Lab

Since the start of the year, regular Assistive technology tutorials and group workshops are given to residents and Day Care Centre members alike to teach digital skills.
We work with SMART-Goals to screen the potential of our users. Each workshop member has his/her own goal plan. We are exploring together new ways to enable all individual participants  to develop their  skills in the directions they want and need. Once this first step is achieved, the skills will be used to create digital content and products, such as calendars, photos, formatted texts etc. 
The next steps are to train its users in the use of hardware (a keyboard, a mouse, a camera and other special equipment) and in software skills (office, picture and video editing and recording programs). We will then run a parallel workshop with joint projects based on collaborative skills.
