DITTO (Disabled Information Technology Training Opportunities)
DITTO is a Computer Learning Centre that provides information technology training opportunities for people with disabilities who are accessing computers for the first time.
DITTO is run by volunteers and is supported by Centre 88 and Virtual Riders.
This project offers a friendly, supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore the range of computer programmes available in open access sessions. Students are then able to decide whether or not computer training is the right thing for them and to give them the experience and confidence to move on to further training if required. The sessions are supported by volunteers.
