REMOTE ONE-TO-ONE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY TRAINING AND SUPPORT
Do you need help learning to use an assistive device or installing assistive technology software?
"It's the best way to teach an old dog a new trick! He showed me how to download and unzip files, and then he wrote the instructions in a file he made up for me. I feel as though I know how to do it as much as if he had been here sitting next to me. And everything happens more quickly and easily because there is no travel time."
Robert, legally blind, age 70
The highly experienced and endlessly patient staff at Perkins Products can now work with you in your home or office, using software which allows them to remotely access your computer.
