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 training for visually impaired children & adults. 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. Content: * Disability Awareness * Importance of computers for visually impaired * Screen reader behavior * Teaching Methodology * Evaluation methodology * Group discussions and Mock sessions * Practical sessions using screen reader with Computer Basics, MS Office and Internet * Understanding the manuals ("why" the manual has and "what" ) * Mastering the usage of training materials like Manuals, Tactile diagrams, Audio files. * Mastering the usage of e-learning tools like Enable India's spelling tool and computer training automation tool * Introduction to training templates * Guidelines for course preparation / curriculum preparation/ lesson plans based on need of organization and student * Preparing rough plan for your training * Self growth being a trainer * Initiation for the 6 months online training Aids used: * PC with screen reader * Tactile diagrams * IT tools like spelling tool and CTVI Automation tool * Use cases for discussion * Training material in Braille, large font and normal font print * Audio materials * Success stories of visually impaired Introduction to EnAble India: Enable India is a non-profit organization working tirelessly since its inception from 1999 towards the economic independence and dignity of persons with disabilities.
