Hi Roger:

Congratulations on the remote training initiative.  Greg is good and if it can get more training to those who need it, which I think it will, that's great.

Greg graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater with his BBA in IT and business management. He has had extensive experience in working with assistive technology both as a user and training advisor.   Greg's expertise with Braille products, screen readers, magnification solutions, along with many of the portable assistive technology options such as the talking book players and Apple IOS options make him a great asset to the Adaptive Information Systems team.  He currently works as a product and support specialist with HumanWare and has had over 7 years of training experience.

> As a user of assistive technology it is often difficult to obtain cost effective and yet high quality training on the products that assist us in everyday life.  At adaptive Information Systems we are working to make this a frustration of the past.  Often training sessions can cost between $100 and $300 an hour, plus travel compensation.  We are excited to offer an extremely cost effective remote training option.  With remote assistance tools, Greg or other trainers will be able to remote into your computer with a secure connection, and can assist in demonstrating and verifying tasks that you want to accomplish with your assistive technology at the low rate of $60 an hour.

You do not want to set up an entire training session but you just need a few things clarified. Adaptive Information systems can quickly and cost effectively help.  Whether you need one hour of training or 8 hours at a time, we can assist with our remote package.

Adaptive Information Systems can remote into your PC with your permission and can support the training by allowing you to correctly hear how the navigation should sound.  By hearing the correct response, you will be able to replicate the correct steps at an expedited rate.

With our remote assistance we can install the drivers and software quickly and efficiently, providing you more time to actually be productive with your new tool, rather than dealing with the setup frustrations.  We also specialize with using and setting up portable Braille devices with the Apple IOS tools.
