Mastery of the computer keyboard is essential for anyone using a computer, especially for someone using a screen reader. With this in mind, we are now offering weekly keyboarding coaching sessions at the CNIB Community Hub on Thursday's.
How it works:
We will have 2 dedicated workstations available for people interested in improving their keyboarding skills. Sessions are offered every Thursday by appointment only at 11 AM, 1 PM and 3 PM. Sessions are 1 hour in length.
Prior to your first visit, we will reach out to you to discuss your keyboarding goals and to setup your first appointment. The computer you will be using will have 2 keyboarding tutor programs called TypeAbility and Typio. TypeAbility & Typio are speech-based keyboarding tutors that guide you through a variety of lessons to help improve your keyboarding knowledge, accuracy & speed. Both programs provide progress reports to help track your improvement as you learn.
The computer keyboarding program is offered at the CNIB GTA Community Hub by appointment only.
Please be advised that you must register for all programs. We kindly ask you to RSVP a minimum of 1 full business day before the start of the program.
Registration required. To register, please complete the CNIB Auto Registration Form.
