Methods of Information Dissemination
Information will be made accessible via electronic media. Printed/Braille materials will also be made available so that persons with disabilities without Internet can access and receive information. The STEP-Pakistan will also supply CD-ROMs to relevant organizations to provide them with latest updates. The STEP-Pakistan will provide the online communication Resource center where the Persons with Disabilities will get the up to date information.
Training for Different Types of Disabilities
The STEP will provide basic computer training in order to encourage persons with disabilities, who have insufficient computer skills to participate in training activities. Also, the STEP-Pakistan will do its best to plan training courses for cross-disability groups and persons with disabilities. Soon the dream of National level Network will be achieve.
Selection of Technology and Skills
The provision of appropriate skills for persons with disabilities will be the prime objective of conducting training at STEP-Pakistan. Thus, training on IL and CBR will be carried out intensively. Also, the STEP-Pakistan will provide training for organizations of and for persons with disabilities, in order to help them implement IL and CBR in the country. In the field of ITC, technology and skills to be obtained in training courses must be affordable, and accessible to different types of disabilities. The STEP-Pakistan will carefully select technology to be transferred in the training courses in order to assure technical sustainability. In this context, Pakistan is believed to be an ideal place because both high and low-tech supportive devices are already in use. Therefore, a wide range of technology can be demonstrated and transferred.
