Christopher Grange Centre for Adult Blind - Resource Centre September 2001 saw the opening of our Resource
Centre. It houses a Low-Vision Area, High Tech Computers and a Communication Area, which BT are putting considerable resources into. The Equipment Area houses the widest possible range of equipment, meaning people have a choice and the equipment will suit their needs. A Library area has Braille, talking books and spoken word videos, plus a very large information area. A music library is also underway. Tanauk Sight Line are installing one of their computers, which will reproduce Newspaper & Magazines, using either screen magnification or voice synthesisers. Lynn Reitze is training a number of our ex-students and they, in turn, will train the visually impaired person with their chosen piece of equipment. Students become teachers. Because it is based in our Rehabilitation Centre, people have the opportunity to try any of the equipment available, and also to seek advise from one of our qualified members of staff. Companies also use the Centre to preview and demonstrate their new and up to date equipment. Indeed, our diary is already quite full. Opening Times Appointments out of these hours by arrangement
