Instructors helping older people with low vision learn how to use their smart phones can sign up for a free, self-paced course on “Teaching iPhone for Low Vision: Where Do I Start?” Participants will learn about features that can make it easier for clients to see what’s on their phone and how to customize the view. Specifics that will be covered include foundational first steps to teach iPhone accessibility, features that make the phone more useful to those with low vision, and how the use of Siri can increase “confidence and independence.” The course, which is eligible for continuing education credit, will also share strategies to motivate clients to use their phone as part of achieving goals for independence. This curriculum was developed and is provided by the National Research and Training on Blindness and Low Vision (NRTC) at Mississippi State University.
