Training in digital assistive technology for combined visual and hearing impairment
Eikholtis a resource and competence centre that offers courses for people with combined visual and hearing impairment/deafblindness and their carers.
In today's society, a large part of our communication is digital. The same applies to how we retrieve information. Online banking, Digipost and Helsenorge are examples of this. To be able to use these services, you need both knowledge and skills. We will guide you to find your way in the digital world regardless of your age and life situation.
Technology for an active lifestyle
Fortunately, technology is evolving and becoming increasingly easy to use. New assistive technology increases accessibility and contributes to active participation at school, at work and in leisure time. Examples of such aids are:
- smartphones and tablets with various programmes and apps
- Reading list
- Spectacle camera with text-to-speech function
Technology helps us gather information, communicate and be active participants in society. At Eikholt we can offer you a varied range of personalised training in ICT assistive technology and everyday technology.
Before we organise a course, we carry out a thorough mapping of your knowledge and needs so that we can tailor the training to you. The courses can be held at Eikholt, your workplace, at school or at your home.
Examples of course content:
- Customisation and use of PC, Mac, tablets and smartphones
- Training on accessibility features in Windows, Android and iOS, such as screen reader, magnification and contrast
