"Zoom text" allows sight-impaired visitors to use computer services

Chris is a visitor at the George Washington Center at the Selma Housing Authority. He uses a computer with zoom text to play a card game. The computer along with the CCTV was given to the center by Visually Impaired People, Inc. through a grant from the City of Selma's Weed and Seed program.

The purpose of the grant was to make the center more accessible for the visually impaired so that they can have access to read their mail, internet access and a opportunity to type letters and learn how to use the computer.

The George Washington Center is the only one fully accessible for the sight impaired in the Selma Housing Authority but is open to the public and other residents of the Selma Housing Authority projects.
