Are you someone with a physical or sensory disability who would like to learn more about technology from the comfort of your own home? Are you interested in learning more about how to use your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone?

Introducing: Distance Computer Comfort Training

The Neil Squire Society now offers remote technology training from a virtual classroom environment. This program is free to qualifying individuals and is available across Canada.

It is suitable for you if:

You can learn to use:
