In 1999, in response to the number of people who were blinded by the terrorist attack on the US Embassy in Nairobi, the Canadian government agency IDRC together with the Darton College in the UK and the Kenya Society for the Blind (KSB), set up the Center for Adaptive Technology (CAT) at the KSB offices in Nairobi.

CAT is the only specially set up training facility for the blind in the region and offers training in common office productivity applications. However, with the need for training opportunities expanding to schools and other tertiary institutions, there is now a need for training of trainers courses for adaptive technologies in the region. It is this training, together with supplimenting training offered by CAT that ITAC is providing.

With staff trained by the manufacturers of the products and constant updating of our skills, we have the neccessary skills to offer the most advanced training in the region.
