•Here's what CAT alumni have to say

Here’s what CAT alumni have to say:

“Over the years, I obtained computer training from several individuals and agencies without significant results. Joe McCloskey and his staff at the Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired provided effective training that was tailored to my needs and schedule. I now use Microsoft Outlook and Word, Internet Explorer, JAWS, and a Braille Lite effectively at home and in my career as a trusts and estates attorney.”
Richard Nenno
Attorney

“I credit my teachers and the computer instruction that I received at CBVI with the success I’m having in college. The assistive technology and alternative technique skills, which I mastered in the CAT program, allow me to be as computer savvy as my sighted classmates. Living in the dorm during my training and being with other visually impaired people was a great experience.”
Roosevelt Mitchell
College student

“The CAT Program taught me how to successfully navigate the computer, its many programs, and the Internet with enthusiasm and confidence. With the knowledge, skills and equipment I gleaned, I have been able to complete my education, launch my career, and keep up in today’s fast paced world.”
