Assistive Technology Library Now Open to the Community

The Assistive Technology Library at the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired is now open for use by members of the blind and visually impaired community. The library is equipped with five state-of-the-art computer work stations. Each computer is equipped with magnification, screen reader and Talking Typer software and is internet accessible. The library also has one ergonomic work station to accommodate individuals with physical disabilities.

Located at 3100 East Roosevelt in Phoenix, the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired has been providing comprehensive rehabilitation instructional programs and social services for blind and visually impaired adults in Maricopa County for over fifty years.

If you or someone you know is blind or visually impaired and needs to use a computer, contact Adam Cruz for more information about this exciting, new Assistive Technology Library program. Adam can be reached Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm at 602.273.7411 X 141 or acruz@acbvi.org.

This program was made possible by a grant from the Beaumont Foundation.
