Technology is changing fast, and it can feel like the world isn't waiting for anyone. At ECNV, we see the people we serve running into new barriers every day: forms that are only online, appointments that need an app, and devices that cost money and take time to learn. Digital Access helps you catch up and keep up at your own pace. Peer mentors show you free tools already on your phone or computer, like having a letter read out loud, turning on captions, or talking instead of typing. We slow things down, help you learn what you need, and you decide what works for you.
