FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
All inPlay Partners with Educators and Vocational
Rehabilitation Trainers to Help Blind Veterans
All inPlay partners with educators and vocational rehabilitation
trainers, to offer its games and community in helping veterans learn
how to use assistive technology.
Shrewsbury, MA, August 24, 2006 - All inPlay
partners with educators and vocational rehabilitation trainers from
across the country to help blinded veterans have a fun way to learn
and practice using assistive technology. All inPlay's
local partner, Adaptive Technology Consulting (ATC), now offers
all veterans enrolled in ATC's computer and Internet training course
a free year of membership to All inPlay.
"In our own small way we want to thank our vets for their
service." said Jeremie Spitzer, All inPlay's
co-founder and CEO. "By partnering with ATC these vets are
now able to play fun games while practicing with their assistive
technology. But more importantly, these vets are able to re-connect
with friends they served with from the comfort of their homes."
ATC contracts with the VA Boston Healthcare System, the Providence
VA Medical Center and the Manchester VA Medical Center to enable
veterans to use computers and the Internet with the appropriate
assistive technology.
"The suite of All inPlay games are great
for getting our students to practice using assistive technology
with the computer and the Internet between lessons," said Gayle
Yarnall, President of Adaptive Technology Consulting. "With
All inPlay's in game text chat feature, our
students have the ability to meet new and old friends, building
their social network which is one of the great uses of the Internet."
