GOPBC Technology

We've had a request to build a collection of items that may be of help to children and families of visually impaired children. We take requests seriously and do what we can to accommodate them! Here is the place for technology information. We'll add what we can as soon as we can.

To submit suggestions for this page, please send them to our webmaster, Richard Holloway: rholloway@gopbc.org
