We live in a digital age. More and more, we need basic computer knowledge and skills in order to be successful in life, especially in the areas of education and employment.

At Sinneave, we are passionate about removing barriers so that autistic youth and adults can thrive in their every day lives. Providing practical strategies and tools for skill-building is part of that.

In this Exploration Session, we’ll introduce participants to the Microsoft Office suite of tools, teaching them how and when this knowledge may come in handy, with the primary focus on Word, PowerPoint and Excel, the three most used tools for daily life.

Attendees will have an opportunity to listen, observe,  ask questions and practice using the software, learning the basic functions of each tool.

This one-hour Exploration Session is free but you do need to register, as we are limited in the number of computers we can provide participants. If you have your own laptop or tablet loaded with a version of Microsoft Office 2013 or later, you are welcome to bring your own! Look for the drop-down menu where you can indicate which option you prefer. (Don’t forget to update your software and bring your charger!)
