We at earlSpeak have found that after being introduced to the Internet, older Adults & Seniors embrace it as a way to keep in touch with children, grandchildren, other relatives and friends via e-mail. They also frequently use the Internet to learn and do research and to carry out transactions that simplify their lives and reduce their dependence on others.

OUR SERVICES:

• One-on-one computer training at your home or office
• Answer your questions via email
• Answer your questions via telephone
• Assist you with buying and installing a computer and Internet connection
• Join one of our group computer classes

Our goal is simple - to provide the knowledge and skills needed to explore the Internet. We find that the majority of Seniors spend less than 2 weeks learning how to use the Internet when they receive some help at the start. With that in mind, we've set out three Learning Packages to choose from.

CASE STUDY: Nancy Warfield (pictured above)

In September 2002, Nancy Warfield called us for help in installing her shiny new Gateway laptop computer. Nancy may have been a computer novice at that time, but she was equipped with a most valuable characteristic: a dedicated desire to learn how to use her computer. Nancy booked a half-dozen one-on-one appointments with earlSpeak at her home. Within 3 months, Nancy had become proficient in the use of all the tasks that are important to her, including: e-mail, search engines, image editing, word processing and printing. Nancy still keeps in touch with earlSpeak and books the occasional one-on-one session in order to clear up any new questions that arise. We're really proud of her!
