We have great news!  The NJ Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CBVI) has launched a new program called the Library Equal Access Program (LEAP).  The LEAP program is placing assistive technology computers & iPads in three public libraries to offer free training in assistive software to NJ residents 55 and older with vision impairments.  Our Mays Landing Branch was chosen as one of the libraries to house computers and iPads for training.

Through the program, 8 HP EliteDesk 800 G1 computers have been set up in the Mays Landing Reference Center.  Each computer runs on Windows 7 and will be equipped with the following assistive software:

• Jaws (v16):  Text-to-Speech software from Freedom Scientific.
• Magic (v13):  Magnification software from Freedom Scientific.
• Talking Typer (v 1.13.5):  A talking typing & computer keyboard training program from the American Printing House for the Blind (APH).
• ZoomText (v 10.1):  Magnification & speech software from AiSquared.

When not in use for LEAP classes and training, these computers will be available to the public.  The 8 Air2 iPads are available for LEAP participants' training and use and are loaded with 13 Assistive Apps including BARD mobile, eMagnifier, ColorId and TextDetective.

Any New Jersey Resident 55 and older who has difficulty reading standard print because of vision problems is eligible.  The resident does not have to be registered with the CBVI to participate.  LEAP classes are for beginners who want an introduction to computers & iPads that offer a better way to read with magnification and speech.

Training will be provided by Advancing Opportunities and will be held at three public libraries in New Jersey: The Atlantic County Library at Mays Landing, the East Brunswick Public Library and the South Orange Public Library.  Any one eligible who would like to register for a class, should call Advancing Opportunities, Assistive Technology Services, at 888-322-1918, extension 595.

**LEAP is also made possible through partnership with the NJ State Library Talking Book & Braille Center (TBBC).  The TBBC currently provides the BARD service which provides audiobooks for the visually impaired and is accessible though our library system.
