Where are we based?
We are now based at Helena Lane in Ludlow. Helena Lane is a purpose built resource centre providing a wide range of services for people in the community. It is fully accessible with toilets and a cafe which is open to the public and offers a wide range of refreshments.
What services do we provide?
VTTS are situated in an approved ICT suite and provide specialist equipment including a range of computers with access software (magnification/screen readers), Voice Activation software and computers with easy to use menus, large keyboards and portable electronic magnifiers together with individually designed computer training courses to help people with a visual impairment regain their independence.
VTTS provide opportunities for people with visual impairments to use technology to communicate through email and the internet or just to learn how to switch on a computer and use it as a tool to help read print, write letters or even pay your bills and do shopping online.
We also offer assessments on low vision equipment advice and information relating to visual impairments and organisations such as RNIB, Shropshire Voluntary Association for the Blind and the services they provide.
VTTS is a leading partner of See and Hear Shropshire, the next Exhibition will take place at Shrewsbury Sports Village on Tuesday 16 May 2012.

The training we offer can be tailored to meet individual needs and our highly experienced ICT trainers offer one to one tuition and support with suitable resources such as large print, Braille and audio CDs. There is no need to have a computer at home or any previous knowledge of using a computer.
