We Offer Individuals

Employ-Ability, aimed at preparing participants for future employment opportunities, provides a unique learning opportunity within a flexible and supportive environment.

Computer Comfort offers one-on-one computer tutoring at no cost in a supportive, client-centred environment; a refurbished donated computer for the home, if needed; and ongoing technical support. Computer Comfort is also available via Distance Learning.

Job Focus provides specialized case managed services for people with physical disabilities to help them find and maintain employment and improve employment readiness.

Literacy is designed for adults with significant physical disabilities and to other client groups where low literacy is an issue.

The Assistive Technology Evaluation Centre enables the evaluation of a wide range of alternative computer input and output devices.

Solutions provides ergonomic and assistive technology assessments for home, school, or the office for individuals with physical and other disabilities.

Our programs have grown stronger and stronger through the years, we have identified what works for our clients and we have continued to help people change their lives by improving their skills and boosting their self-confidence while making the most of their abilities.

The programs we offer have a few characteristics that make them unique:

A Holistic Approach

Our programs take into consideration all aspects of the human being; whether they need to improve only their computer skills or they require a more complex combination of services like learning how to improve their motivation and self confidence, while improving their literacy skills through adaptive technology, we work with each client on an individual basis to identify their particular needs and create an individual action plan for them to succeed.

Self-paced Environment

Our programs offer a self paced environment which allows our clients to learn at their own rhythm. This offers them the level of comfort they need to remain motivated by their own successes.

Professional Staff

The knowledge, dedication and professionalism of our staff and volunteers complete the equation. They give our clients all the support and advice they need to successfully complete their programs.
