2009 Summer Residential Program
For Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired
June 1 to July 31, 2009
TRAC offers training in assistive technology and computer skills needed for success in college and today's work place. Our courses give students opportunities to learn valuable skills, enhance independence, and make new friends.
Since 1987, TRAC has offered a summer residential program for students who are blind or visually impaired transitioning from high school to college. Students learn to use screen-reading software to access Microsoft products such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Training in Internet, e-mail, and the Blackboard course management software lay the foundation for success in college courses.
As a resident, students have an opportunity to enhance Braille, mobility, and independent living skills through training, campus life, and recreational activities.
