Using a mobile phone with limited vision can be a daunting task. AT&T and the American Foundation for the Blind have announced that AT&T is holding its first national training sessions to help users with vision loss use wireless phones more effectively.

The training sessions are a public service initiative and an offshoot of the popular AT&T training sessions for senior citizens. Participants in the program bring their own mobile phones and anyone can attend regardless of what carrier they use.

AT&T will offer demonstrations for those who don’t won a mobile phone as well. The session will reportedly cover phone basics like checking voice mail, storing numbers, controlling volume, and using software to magnify the screen and provides verbal instructions for users.
