Device setup & basics
Accessible setup, accounts, connectivity, screen readers, voice features, common settings, and the first things to learn.
Twice each month on Zoom
The Technology Connection
Part training room, part device demo, part community meetup. If you want to understand what AI for the Blind is doing—or get better with the technology already in your hands—this is the place to start.
Live demonstrations
See—or hear—how tablets, phones, AI glasses, apps, and communication tools actually work before choosing or after receiving them.
STAP & iCanConnect support
Practical follow-up for people receiving equipment through programs we support, with room for real questions.
Guest contributors
Tech trainers, community contributors, developers, and accessibility voices share tools, techniques, and lessons learned.
Questions are welcome
No need to be an expert. Bring the problem you are trying to solve and learn alongside the group.
Get involved
It is also the easiest entry point for prospective volunteers, trainers, partners, testers, speakers, and supporters.
Who should attend?
- People receiving a STAP or iCanConnect device
- Blind, low-vision, deafblind, or disabled technology users
- Family members and support people
- Accessibility professionals and trainers
- People curious about AI and assistive technology
- Potential volunteers, partners, and contributors
Accessible by design
Sessions are structured with screen-reader and keyboard users in mind. Presenters are encouraged to explain visual actions aloud, identify controls clearly, and avoid relying on “click over here” or visual-only instructions.
