Details of TOT
1. 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.
More than 120 trainers have been trained so far and indirectly more than 3000
students with vision impairment have been benefitted so far. Our training
material is used by many trainers from India and abroad.
