Screenless Allies — Tech without the screen


Welcome to Screenless Allies — thanks for stopping by.

Assistive technology training, taught by someone who lives it.

I’m Jose Briseño — blind assistive technology trainer, and the founder of Screenless Allies. I train the teachers, specialists, and students who work with screen readers, braille displays, and mobile accessibility every day, so blind and visually impaired students can do their schoolwork with confidence and independence.

Jose, a blind assistive technology trainer, demonstrates a braille device at a podium while talking with a teacher; a large screen behind him shows the device's menu.

I train the way I learn: if I don’t know an answer, I’ll say so — and then I’ll dig until I find it.
