- What we do as an organization (100-word description)
- ICTs can open new vistas for disabled people and make a different world through education, as well as by rehabilitation and building their capacities.
The ‘Information Society for All’ target can be achieved through building and supporting telecentres in different areas all over the world especially in the poor and developing countries which should and could be structured in a way so that’ they can look after the needs of the disabled.
ICTs are useful for improving the quality of life by enhancing effectiveness of teaching, developing life-skills; complementing learning in special needs education, and exploring other related issues.
- My function in the organization
- Chairman of SCHR Organisation
- What ICT or e-Skill training programs does your organization offer?
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have the potential for making significant improvements in the lives of (PWDs).
And ICT has been identified as an important aspect of the wider strategy for the social inclusion of disabled people.
1. Learning at Distance
Distance courses allow disabled students to continue living at home while they are studying, to share documents, lessons, exchange ideas and make presentations. Using a computer were common components for the training and studying.
2. Reading Digital and Audio Libraries.
University students with a hearing disability, reading disability, blind, dyslexia and other disabilities are now able to get their courses from digital and audio libraries and get material, content, resources from internet, the students can themselves connect from home and read or hear the relevant books, without needing to go to the university or local library.
3. Internet, Broadband for PWDs.
The disabled people are limited by their capacity to communicate with each other at a distance, but during the internet they are gathering and understanding public information, news, participating in leisure interests with others, chat, shopping, attending finances, writing to authorities and friends, a computer with a broadband connection provides opportunities for enhanced participation and independence life.
4. Winning communication – distance guidance
ICT provides people with disabilities with effective guidance, for example, about labor market issues and limiting factors include access to specialists in labor market guidance with awareness to the issues in their related fields.
5. Implementation of many ICT Telecentres in the rural areas
Maximize the use of computer skills for the welfare of disabled people in rural communities. Also, creation of public awareness that PWDs can utilize their potentials for their use and the society using adaptive technology.
- What other training services does your organization provides?
- Technology for Persons With Disabilities.
There is now a general consensus that for disabled people to share in the benefits of new technology , The use of technology for PWD in the field of education has tremendous potential in alleviating particular problems associated with particular disabilities as well as making job opportunities available for persons with physical disability, visual impairment and hearing impairment. The strategy involves implementing specialized computer programmes and models to enhance the capacity of disabled to share teaching and learning skills generated from, and shares successes (and challenges) gleaned from, fellow educators working with students with disabilities.
Technology is used as a tool for integrating those - of all ages - with disabilities into society.
- Design a learning profile of each student ( disabled)....By being aware of the learning styles, work level, reasoning ability, classroom participation, comprehension and progress of a student with disability.
- Develop effective teaching techniques....Develop or modify curricula and testing to ensure that disabled students obtain the information and skills they need and that they are evaluated accordingly.
- Provide individualized instruction...To be effective, teachers should modify their instruction to meet the various learning styles and abilities of students with disabilities.
- Provide a structure for learning...Many students with disabilities have difficulty organizing information, developing work habits.
- Build self-esteem of students with disabilities... Deliver...information in a gradually more progressive manner, allowing them time to master a topic at one level before moving on to more difficult material.

Security was hilarious!
it was a draft.. we were all with coats on... except Sergiu...his scar was warm enough! :D
Just read the ECIS press-release as well. Great tools!
Hey, good to see you at work. By the way, off topic, is scarf really necessary (considering Swedish temperatures!) or just a new boy-ish fashion accessory? Anyhow, I am glad to see pictures from behind the scene, too!

In just one day there had been so many sessions on basically the same topic, that whoever went to at least one of these sessions, had to have remained with SOMETHING relevant... haha...they're struggling to answer it because they weren't expecting...
Is there anything that shocks, overwhelms or draws-in these young reporters about the little EU they see at such a conference? What do you think is "original" in such an exercise?
I am looking for a particular flag...and don't see it.
