Trina is starting a new business as an intuitive coach in Delta and throughout the Lower Mainland. In starting her own business, she has to build up her brand through social media, advertising, and finding new clients. Her line of work also involves continually learning new skills and techniques.

However, Trina lives with learning challenges in reading and writing, as well as memory retention.

“This impacts both learning new tasks, retaining information, and overall interest in any function that includes written words,” she shares. “I find I am often behind in paperwork, new updates, and learning when they are self-directed or are written.”

She learned about WorkBC Assistive Technology Services and decided to apply.

Through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, she received a Rocketbook smart notebook to assist with notetaking, Grammarly and Inspiration Mind Mapping software to assist with her writing skills, as well as training on Microsoft 365 accessibility features and the Seeing AI app.

These accommodations are making a big difference as Trina gets her business off the ground.

“My life has changed and I am now more confident,” she says. “I feel that I can with confidence learn new ways to create a new career.”

Trina recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need.

“I highly recommend and share often the value of this program.”
