As some of you may have heard already, we have moved from being “mobile” to having a permanent downtown office. We have a great location and great facilities and think that this new location will be much more comfortable for our clients. We will continue to provide “on location” services to clients setting up accommodations at their place of employment, but will welcome most clients into our offices. Please note that we have a separate “mailing address” and “physical address.” Although we can get mail at our physical address, our UPS Office Box provides us with more secure and comprehensive mail and package service. Don’t worry, though, if you accidentally show up at our mailing address, it is only a few blocks away from our office. If you have any confusion, about which is which (they are both on SW 5th Avenue) don’t hesitate to give us a call and we will point you in the right direction. Find more information, directions, transit and parking information here.

Our Physical/Office Address is:

Miles Access Skills Training, LLC
1400 SW 5th Avenue
Suite 690
Portland, Oregon 97201

Our Mailing Address is:

Miles Access Skills Training, LLC
1819 SW 5th Avenue
PMB# 106
Portland, Oregon 97201

  • Nik is Awesome! 🙂

    Nik is an excellent instructor! He is knowledgable, perceptive and compassionate. He knows how to make what could be and frequently is, an uncomfortable learning experience a very interesting and pleasant learning experience. Technology has a way of making we humans feel very small and stupid at times, Nik’s marvelous way of teaching makes you feel empowered and capable. I highly recommend Nik for whatever your assistive technology needs may be.

  • Hello, my name is Mary. I have benefitted from my work with Nik. I am a deaf-blind person and his teaching me how to use the deaf-blind communicator has so kept my world of communication open. I live in a residential facility and several of the care providers here have used it, and are glad to be able to talk with me. The goal is for a staff member to work with me 10 minutes each day so that I will not feel so isolated where I live. A few of my friends have used it when visiting, including the person handling my finances.

     

    In addition, Nik has taught me how to use a TTY. This tool allows me to inform my financial person what I am needing in the way of personal care items allowing for some independence.

     

    All in all, I have truly appreciated all that Nik has taught me me and the independence it gives me.

  • We would highly recommend MAST services. Nik Petersson is an excellent teacher and role model for all of us who work within the disability field. He follows his passion and lives his values. We met Nik after a long, difficult search for someone in the State of Oregon who knew how to use a Deaf-Blind Communicator (DBC). After getting nowhere with organizations that are typically considered resources, we found Nik, for our friend, Mary. After his first visit we knew that Nik was the person that we had been desperately seeking for months. He not only had the technical knowledge, but also the hands-on teaching skills required for a challenging situation.

    […]

    Nik’s gentle, but firm methodical process of assessing her skills/needs and then building her DBC skills in a conversational, informal manner was the exact approach that was needed. Over the weeks, we watched our friend, Mary come back alive as she became proficient in using the DBC and gaining control over her life. We cannot thank Nik enough for enabling Mary to once again joke and carry on deeper discussions rather than the limited interactions of “Do you want to go to bed?” or “It’s lunchtime.”

    […]

    We have worked for and with individuals with disabilities for a combined total of over 56 years and would consider Niklas Petersson in the handful of the very best in the field.

  • I have been served by Miles Access Skills Training for a month now, and am very pleased with what I have received. Nik Petersson is a good teacher, flexible in schedule to meet my needs, can adjust his pace to my learning needs, and the fee is affordable. I am no longer wanting to throw my I-phone on the floor and stomp on it, thanks to Nik. Miles Access Skills Training has been a good investment for me.

  • I started my vocational rehab in January of 2012. My goal was to return to work as a bar manager. I had a car accident in 2010 that caused major head trauma and that also left me totally blind. I started working with Nik Petersson in February of 2012. At that point I did not know for sure what all of my technical needs were other then that I needed to find an accessible point of sale system, iPhone and MAC with voice Over as well as some type of accounting package and productivity applications.

    At first Nik and I just worked on building basic skills such as keyboarding and screen-reader concepts for both Windows and Mac. As my skills improved over time and my confidence grew in how to use the technology Nik worked with me on how to find the best technical options for me and how they can best be implemented in my specific situation. At the current time we have finalized all of the technical options and I am in the final stages of training with Nik on how to learn all the specifics. We ended up using a combination of Windows and MAC with Quick Books for Windows and Office 2010 with a web based Point of sale system.

    Nik has worked with me all through this process and has been a great source of knowledge and skills and has always been willing to research what would be the best option or choice for my situation. He helped me feel confident as a human again. Nik is a very enthusiastic trainer and not to mention a lot of fun. Nik has kept me motivated and focused on learning what is important in regard to blindness technical skills but also that blindness does not limit me in what I can do and I feel more confident and capable after having worked with Nik. I would strongly recommend Nik as a trainer.

  • Nik Petersson has been a tremendous help to me in accessing technology. I started with voice over on the MAC desktop. Then I mastered the use of an iPhone and the use of a scanner.  Nik is extremely knowledgeable and is able and willing to adapt to my needs as well as my learning styles.
