> Hi All,
> Payal has brought up some great ideas. The Hotel industry has customer
> service center or reservation centers. Blind people are working here in
> the US by getting specialized training in customer service.
> The National Statler Center for Careers in Hospitality service has some
> of these trainings. Their website is www.statlercenter.org.
> The center is in New York and the training is 6 weeks long. It is good
> to know Braille and some computer with screen reader. It will depend on
> what kind of software the hotel industry is using for reservations and
> ensuring that the software could be made accessible.
> I know that there is lot of technical language but Payal, you can tell
> the best.
> I hope you join this mailing list and we could share ideas. I am from
> India, and lived in the US for 20 years.
