DESCRIPTION
A teleconference education program for homebound seniors, offered by DOROT, a non-profit agency based in New York, but available to Princeton residents. Through telephone conference calls, people with physical challenges and limited mobility can participate in a variety of classes on the arts, book discussions, contemporary issues, history, investments, music, Judaic studies, and healthcare. Telephone support groups also are available. Catalogs of courses and services are available. A regular telephone is all that is needed to participate, and DOROT staff members connect the calls so the patron is not charged. There is a registration fee of $10 and a tuition fee of $15 for each course. Scholarships are available
