Assessment and Training Services

---

The world of adaptations can feel overwhelming--with Lakeside it doesn't have to! We evaluate your needs and goals and take your unique situation into account. Then we make recommendations based on our many years of experience. Training is available when needed.  We aim to help you regain and maintain your independence and access. 

We do a comprehensive computer skills assessment, which we document in a clear and concise report. Topics include Typing, Internet Skills, Email, Microsoft Office, and more. The assessment then becomes a training curriculum tailored to each client.

Are vision changes making work challenging? We can discuss your needs and potential accommodations. We can also work with your employer to implement recommendations, provide training, and on-demand consulting.

Our training focus is on the needs of the individual—not a predetermined curriculum. Whether you need typing training or are learning to adapt your Office skills to using keyboard commands, we can assist you in achieving your goals. We specialize in: 

• Typing
• Email
• Internet
• MS Office
• JAWS
• Zoom Text
• Fusion
• and more!

Our Android & iOS Training is tailored to address the needs and skill levels of our clients. We collaborate with you to adapt your phone to meet your needs and improve independence. Our training features the latest accessibility features, settings, and applications that are important for your needs.

Our Accessibility Standards Testing is designed to help identify areas that require attention and provide education for your team to help you maintain accessibility standards in the future. Our experience with Section 508 and WCAG accessibility standards testing extends from large federal government entities to local governments, from major corporations to local small businesses, and educational institutions of all sizes. Section 508 and WCAG compliance testing performed in Windows, Android, and/or iOS browsers or apps. Detailed results and UX narrative included.   

Our accessible documents services are second to none. We offer full-service creation, design, and remediation for PDFs and documents, resulting in Section 508-compliance. Whether you are starting from scratch or have existing documents and forms, we have the expertise to make them accessible. If training your team is what you have in mind, we can provide in-house training to meet your needs.
