For many years, our center has offered individuals with disabilities “open access” to our computer lab for several hours each week. During Open Access hours, individuals use the Internet, try AT devices, reinforce their computer skills, or play games on the computer. Currently, Open Access is offered on Wednesdays from 3:30 – 6:00.
Soon we will offer Open Access Teaching Sessions (OATS). The last Wednesday of every month, a guest speaker will present information on a topic of interest during our Open Access hours. Information about the OATS schedule will be made available on our website.
