July 23 Microsoft Accessibility workshop - Columbia

According to the 2000 Census, nearly 1 in 5 Americans (19.3 percent of the population) had some type of disability. In South Carolina the percentage was even higher; 22.2 percent of the population has at least one type of disability.

Mary Alice Bechtler, with the South Carolina Assistive Technology Program, and Mark Daniels, Assistive Technology Regional Specialist with the South Carolina Department of Education, will be conducting a Microsoft Accessibility Workshop at Fast Forward Technology Center in Columbia on July 23rd from 9-10:30. This free workshop will go over the accessibility features in Microsoft XP and VISTA and explain their uses. There is no charge for the workshop, but you must email or call to reserve a seat. This workshop is perfect for teachers, nonprofit directors and staff, and employers. Our first workshop filled within three days. Parking is always at a premium, so think about carpooling if possible. Fast Forward is located at 3223 Devine Street, Suite 3, in Columbia, directly across the street from EarthFare.
