Call for Irish speakers to help visually impaired
September 11, 2013
Childvision is looking for volunteers with Irish language skills to support its DAISY project and provide Irish language resources to the visually impaired.
The volunteers will be taking part in the project where sound files will be recorded to accompany digital talking books. DAISY stands for digital accessible information system and is a digital talking book which is a multimedia representation of a print publication.
National Braille Production at ChildVision is based in Drumcondra in Dublin and was established to meet the educational needs of children with a visual impairment attending either mainstream or special education at both primary and secondary level.
Volunteers will need to have fluent Irish, a good speaking voice, basic computer literacy and available to volunteer during working hours in-house.
For further information contact project manager Aisling mcDonagh at amcdonagh@childvision.ie.
