Finding a letter on a keyboard may seem simple, but for a new student, it can open a world of possibilities. 💻  At inABLE’s Isinya Digital Hub, Precious found locating letters like “M” and “P” tiring, while Brian needed more practice with capital letters. Our instructors introduced fun, game-based typing exercises, and both students are now building their skills and confidence.  Every keystroke brings them closer to creating documents, exploring the internet, and discovering new opportunities through technology.  ❤️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲.  With $𝟱𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.  Your gift can help learners like Precious and Brian keep learning, growing, and unlocking their potential.  𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.  Leveling Up Digital Literacy story: inable.org/media/blogs/level…  Donate here: inable.org/get-involved/dona…   #InclusiveEducation #AssistiveTechnology #DigitalAccessibility #GivingTuesday #inABLE

🦯 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🤍 The white cane is an important mobility tool that supports independence, orientation, and freedom of movement for persons with visual impairments. Here are four ways to keep your white cane in good condition: 1. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻: Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. 2. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲: Regularly check your cane for cracks, bends, loose joints, or a worn-out tip. 3. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘆: Keep it in a safe, dry place when you're not using it. 4. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲: Fold and unfold it gently to protect its joints and locking mechanism. Do you have a go-to tip for looking after your white cane? We’d love to hear from you in the comments! #WhiteCaneSafetyDay #WhiteCaneAwareness #BlindnessAwarenessMonth #AssistiveTechnology
