With your support, we have held many computer courses as we can. From July to Sept. 2015, we have focused on four kinds of classes:
(learning how to use screen reader “NVDA”)
2. computer group classes:
(help blind students learning how to operate computer by using NVDA screen reader and also help them to adopt the DAISY format books )
(how to assist correctly for the visually impaired students)
(help the visually impaired people to learn more about google email, google
drive, google calendar, you tube, and google search)
From July to Sept., 2015, we finished recording four audiobooks in DAISY format, details as follows: 1.Gettingmonuments 2. Jaschaaset ofessays 3. Slow CityTaipei 4. ArtsWalkin the south
The topics of these four books describe Taiwanese Literature and the Introduction of Taipei historical sites. These audiobooks will be given to the visually impaired people free of charge.
In August 2015, we hold a seminar called “sharing life experiences ”. Dr. Su was invited to share his life story. He is a famous psychiatrist and has worked in Taipei City Hospital for 16 years. He lost his eyesight because of a traffic accident when he was abt. 23 years old. Many visually impaired people came here to meet Dr. Su.
They were glad to share Dr. Su’s real life experiences and made lively discussion with him. For those who are unable to come to our conference room, they can use “Skype” to join the seminar as well. Besides, we offer psychology counseling services. Firstly, our social workers talk over the visually impaired face to face and learn to know their real needs. Secondly, we will find licensed counselors to arrange therapy. After the therapy, we expect them to recover their mental health gradually.
Maintain and Enlarge the TDTB DAISY Library continuously.
This Online library is constructed in 2010, and all the visually impaired people are welcome to be our members from then.
At present, our TDTB library has over 482 members and provides over 4548 DAISY books.
