Delivering inclusive and accessible education and support

Available to clients in Ontario, DBCS’s Skills Development Services provide inclusive literacy and basic skills instruction for adults who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision in Ontario. Learners are placed in one-on-one or small group settings and are able to address a wide variety of learning goals, including employment, apprenticeship, post-secondary education, secondary school credits, and everyday skills that lead to greater independence. 

The program operates year-round, features flexible scheduling, and is conducted using the student’s preferred communication method(s) to ensure an inclusive and accessible experience for all participants.
