TOT for CTVI: * IT and computers is the biggest enabler for the educated persons with vision impairment. It has a deeper impact for the persons with vision impairment than for persons without disability. * Computer education for the persons with vision impairment enables them in their basic education, higher education, research, daily living and employment. * In today's environment with paper less offices and information available in the internet, computers represent freedom for the persons with vision impairment. * There are very few schools and institutions offering computer training for persons with vision impairment * More importantly there are very few trainers who teach computers and IT for the persons with vision impairment * Also, there is no standardized formal curriculum. Hence quality IT education cannot be guaranteed. To address this gap, in 2005, Enable India started Training the Trainers course for trainers who will teach computers to the persons with vision impairment. This program was launched to enhance the teaching methodologies of the trainers in various aspects of computers. This TOT is being conducted for the teachers of different schools, NGOs & individuals who will provide computer & Employability training for visually impaired candidates. The course provides training on general teaching techniques and specific teaching techniques for the persons with vision impairment using screen readers, industry orientation and usage of right resource aids. The trainers are equipped with a standard curriculum that they can follow at their respective institutions.
