<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This week, we discuss advocacy techniques for those times when the technology you want to use isn&#8217;t accessible, creating a barrier to you living the life you want. There are ways to communicate the problem constructively
 to the producers of the technology, and you can do it even if you don&#8217;t consider yourself very technical. We discuss these strategies and describe the national Federation of the Blind&#8217;s Technology Self-advocacy Toolkit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
