1. Assessments
Before growth comes awareness. Our personalized assessments are designed to evaluate where you are today and identify the path to where you want to be. For individuals, assessments provide insight into skill gaps and opportunities for development. For organizations, assessments reveal key accessibility challenges and areas for improvement.
What We Assess:
- Technology Skills Assessments – Evaluate proficiency with screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), braille displays, and essential software tools like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
- Accessibility Audits for Individuals – Identify the assistive technology, tools, and strategies that can increase your independence.
- Workplace Accessibility Assessments – Assess the accessibility of a physical or virtual workplace, ensuring that blind employees can perform essential functions with confidence.
How It Works:
- Initial Consultation – We learn about your needs, goals, and challenges.
- Comprehensive Evaluation – Our experts conduct an in-depth assessment, whether it’s on-site, remote, or self-guided.
- Actionable Report – Receive a clear, detailed summary of findings with specific recommendations.
Master the Tools for Independence and Success.
2. Training
Training is at the heart of what we do. Through personalized instruction, we teach clients how to master non-visual skills, access technology, and professional development essentials. Our training empowers individuals to overcome challenges and achieve independence in personal, professional, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
What We Teach:
- Access Technology Training – Learn to master screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), braille displays, and essential software like Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and job-specific applications.
- Professional Development Training – Gain critical workplace skills such as résumé writing, job interview preparation, and workplace communication.
- Entrepreneurship Training – For those with big dreams, we offer training on how to launch, manage, and grow your own business as a blind entrepreneur.
How It Works:
- Choose Your Learning Method – Access in-person, live virtual, or self-paced training via our VO Academy platform.
- Customized Curriculum – Every client’s journey is different, so we tailor the lessons to meet your specific needs and goals.
- Ongoing Support – We don’t just teach you and walk away. We provide ongoing support and resources to ensure your continued growth and success.
Create Spaces and Systems That Empower Everyone.
