Subject: [blindlaw] Discriminatory treatment against the disabled in the
 administration of insurance policies
Message-ID: <10A45E21-FD6F-49EC-8B4C-77468AC57918@gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a matter before the Indian Supreme Court which relates to the denial of insurance policies to persons with disabilities. The gravamen of our case is that a candidate's blindness cannot be the basis to (a) refuse to grant insurance; (b) grant it on less favourable terms; or (c) to refuse to honour a claim by erroneously linking it with the insured's disability.

 We are looking for cases from other jurisdictions to buttress our arguments. I am wondering if members of this list are aware of any American cases which may have a bearing on these issues. I'd also like to know if there are specific statutory provisions that deal with nondiscrimination in the grant of insurance policies. Any leads from other jurisdictions would also be helpful. Thank you.

Best,
Rahul

Just to add, we are specifically looking at the market place model so far as U.S. is concerned, in line with the provisions of the Health Care Act and any other law which may have any baring on the issue.

Also, if you are aware of how underwriting policies factor disability as a component, that would be of great help.

Amar Jain

Hi everyone,

While it is feasible to bookmark relevant pieces of information in a word document, I am wondering what strategies can be adopted to do so in PDFs. One option obviously is to convert the  document into word, but that can be a very time-consuming process.

I am not sure if this information is correct… But, I think it is possible to make accessible PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional. Documents can be created in 0CR, which then are accessible to read and print.

You are right, Camille. My question is about making notes in such accessible PDFs of relevant pieces of information.

Some of this depends upon the type of insurance. Life, and disability insurance are covered by a document from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 1978. You can probably find the text of that statement in the Braille Monitor for that year. Most states have passed legislation which outlaws discrimination in those categories of insurance.  I am not sure about the effect on property and casualty insurance, and health insurance is covered by the Affordable Insurance Act, which, at least right now, does not allow for the increase of premium or exclusion of pre-existing conditions. I was involved in the passage of the NAIC rule in the state of Oregon, but must confess to have been an insurance agent, not a legal professional. I am sure others on this list can give you specific case law.

If you have an iPad, the Voicedream Reader app allows you to add highlights, bookmarks  and notes. You can export those to a text file, or you can cut and paste text to an app called Notebooks that I find useful for organizing information related to a particular project.

I have an iPad Mini 4th generation and a Zagg keyboard case. The keyboard case has a hinged keyboard. The top half serves as the shell case for the iPad. Basically, the iPad Mini is situated much like a laptop screen. I like this setup because you have more room on the screen for gestures and can take advantage of some of the iPad's multi-tasking and split screen functionality.

Hi Josh,

It is probably more personal preference than necessity to be honest.  I like having my work separate from my phone calls.  Otherwise it is too easy to lose my place.  Also, on the iPad you can split screen two apps like Voicedream and Notebooks for easy cutting and pasting.  I don't think that is possible on the iPhone but I might be wrong about that.  It may be just psychological, but the extra screen area on the iPad Mini seems more comfortable for using Voicedream and Notebooks.

Rahul,

If you use a Windows computer with JAWS, you can create temporary and permanent JAWS placemarkers in PDF documents. This feature is even more powerful than its Word counterpart, because you are not limited to one placemarker per file as you are in Word. To set a temporary placemarker, navigate to where you would like to add the marker and press Ctrl Windows K. To create a permanent placemarker, navigate to the desired location,  press Ctrl Shift K, and press enter to activate the new placemarker dialogue. At that point, you will be asked to enter a name for the placemarker and set options like anchoring the placemarker to specific text. Once you are finished, activate the OK button, and your placemarker should be saved.

Navigating JAWS placemarkers is equally straightforward. From within the document, press k or Shift k to navigate to the next or previous placemarker, respectively. Alternatively, pressing Ctrl Shift K will bring up a list of all placemarkers in the current file, which supports first-letter navigation. Please let us know if this is the type of feature you are looking for.

Best,

Michal

Hi Josh,

It is probably more personal preference than necessity to be honest.  I like having my work separate from my phone calls.  Otherwise it is too easy to lose my place.  Also, on the iPad you can split screen two apps like Voicedream and Notebooks for easy cutting and pasting.  I don't think that is possible on the iPhone but I might be wrong about that.  It may be just psychological, but the extra screen area on the iPad Mini seems more comfortable for using Voicedream and Notebooks.

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has tips for making flat-paneled phones
accessible, particularly the type where the function of the buttons
changes depending on what is currently happening on the phone. My
previous jobs used the phone very rarely, but I will need them more at
the firm. They tell me they use Avaya phones, if that's helpful. In
addition to having voicemail forwarded to my email, i am also
wondering how I can access the missed call list and whether there is a
way to have caller-ID info spoken aloud on these more powerful phones.

Thanks for any assistance.

Laura

Good morning,

We are just switching from the types of phones you’re now using. There is a desktop app that can read out the collar ID from your computer. There is also A separate program named Carl assistant where you can view your missed calls on the computer.

Hello:

     I suggest getting the model of the phone and then contacting Avaya.
Hopefully, this will solve the problem. Hope this helps.

See if Avaya's accessibility solution at the following link could be used in your office. It appears to be limited to select phone models, and I'm not sure if it resolves the issue of context-sensitive button functions:

Michal,

That's a great tip, thanks.  I wish there was a way to get large pdf files (200-300 pages) to open faster with Acrobat Reader DC.  It is painful to wait for all that processing, when they just pop open in Voicedream.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Making notes in PDFs

Rahul,

If you use a Windows computer with JAWS, you can create temporary and permanent JAWS placemarkers in PDF documents. This feature is even more powerful than its Word counterpart, because you are not limited to one placemarker per file as you are in Word. To set a temporary placemarker, navigate to where you would like to add the marker and press Ctrl Windows K. To create a permanent placemarker, navigate to the desired location, press Ctrl Shift K, and press enter to activate the new placemarker dialogue. At that point, you will be asked to enter a name for the placemarker and set options like anchoring the placemarker to specific text. Once you are finished, activate the OK button, and your placemarker should be saved.

Navigating JAWS placemarkers is equally straightforward. From within the document, press k or Shift k to navigate to the next or previous placemarker, respectively. Alternatively, pressing Ctrl Shift K will bring up a list of all placemarkers in the current file, which supports first-letter navigation. Please let us know if this is the type of feature you are looking for.

Best,

Michal

Hi Josh,

It is probably more personal preference than necessity to be honest. I like having my work separate from my phone calls. Otherwise it is too easy to lose my place. Also, on the iPad you can split screen two apps like Voicedream and Notebooks for easy cutting and pasting. I don't think that is possible on the iPhone but I might be wrong about that. It may be just psychological, but the extra screen area on the iPad Mini seems more comfortable for using Voicedream and Notebooks.

I'm curious why you choose to use an IPad verses an iPhone? Any reason in particular? I ask because I'm trying to decide if there is utility in getting an iPad in addition to my phone.

Subject: [blindlaw] Maintaining balance in working on disability rights and
 client conflict / other principles which corporates and firms follow?
Message-ID: <053665FC-8F12-40BE-B161-8F9734712B2E@amarjain.com>

Dear all,

I am a corporate lawyer, working with a law firm. I am based in India.

Many times, I have to approach companies for inaccessibility, policy makers on disability issues and alike. Majority of the companies do not respond to emails, and it becomes essential to engage with them on social media to get the management into discussion mode.

Judiciary is out of my scope because of the client conflict principles. Therefore, my options are limited.

The social media engagement is causing some discomfort at my workplace. While these issues are being understood, however there is little hesitation in allowing me to continue doing this. Primarily because some of these companies can be a potential client in future. I am unable to seek recourse to the judiciary even on policy issues on disability, because while arguing the matter, some examples of discrimination could involve an existing or a past client.

How have you dealt with these situations? Are there any specific measures which deal with    these issues which form part of your social media engagement policy?

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Regards,
Amar Jain

Thanks, David. I will study the state statutes which grapple with the principle of nondiscrimination in the grant of insurance which you have adverted to. Any leads in terms of case laws on disability-based discrimination would be greatly appreciated.

You can probably find the text of that statement in the Braille Monitor for that year. Most states have passed legislation which outlaws discrimination in those categories of insurance.  I am not sure about the effect on property and casualty insurance, and health insurance is covered by the Affordable Insurance Act, which, at least right now, does not allow for the increase of premium or exclusion of pre-existing conditions. I was involved in the passage of the NAIC rule in the state of Oregon, but must confess to have been an insurance agent, not a legal professional. I am sure others on this list can give you specific case law.

Hello, all. Several blind attorneys have expressed a desire to discuss the use of the Aira visual interpreter in legal practice. For those who are unfamiliar with the service, more information can be found at www.aira.io<http://www.aira.io>. The service is currently working to become HIPAA compliant, and they have a confidentiality and security paper which I have attached to this email.

Tim Elder did a great presentation on the ethical concerns with use of Aira at our 2018 National Association of Blind Lawyers (NABL) meeting and he has also expressed interest in participating in the call.  Ronza Othman mentioned that NABL used to have quarterly conference calls and that this might be a good topic to revive these calls. I am happy to organize such a call if NABL members are interested. Please respond if you are interested, and note days and times you are typically available. I would like to schedule this call as soon as possible.

Hello, all. Several blind attorneys have expressed a desire to discuss the
use of the Aira visual interpreter in legal practice. For those who are
unfamiliar with the service, more information can be found at
www.aira.io<http://www.aira.io>. The service is currently working to become
HIPAA compliant, and they have a confidentiality and security paper which I
have attached to this email.

Tim Elder did a great presentation on the ethical concerns with use of Aira
at our 2018 National Association of Blind Lawyers (NABL) meeting and he has
also expressed interest in participating in the call.  Ronza Othman
mentioned that NABL used to have quarterly conference calls and that this
might be a good topic to revive these calls. I am happy to organize such a
call if NABL members are interested. Please respond if you are interested,
and note days and times you are typically available. I would like to
schedule this call as soon as possible.

Hello.

I am very interested and have a mostly flexible schedule.

1)  Was Tim Elder's NABL presentation recorded?

2)  Will the conference call you're planning be archived for those who are
not available at that time?

Thanks.

Jay

All,


I'm still working on obtaining employment now that I'm done with school. 
I've had reasonable success getting interviews, but no offers as of yet. 
Does anybody have tips as far as interviewing as a blind attorney, 
specifically? Best ways to diffuse people's concerns and make a good 
impression? And how many unsuccessful interviews should one have before 
it's reasonable to be really concerned?

Kelby,

I am in a similar situation. I graduated from law school in May, sat for the Illinois bar exam in July, and had several unsuccessful job interviews. I do, however, have some suggestions that might help you get a job, and maybe you could help me identify if I am doing anything wrong. Would you be available for a brief phone conversation anytime this Wednesday or Thursday?

Best,

Michal Nowicki

Kelby,

I am in the exact same position. Though, so far, the issue of accommodations in my abilities has only come up in an interview with a public defenders office. Given the fact that this would be a litigation heavy position and one in a district court where there is a lot of hand written documents, I think the concern is a fair one. I relied a lot on information from this email list to help me address those concerns. I also made sure to be clear that I am being proactive in that I am always looking for ways to accomplish the same work as in the other attorney, but in a different way. I mentioned my subscription to this email list as a demonstration of those efforts.

That said, I was not offered the job. I am aware that the pool of applicants was a very competitive one, but I still wonder if I could’ve done something better to address their concerns.

Subject: [blindlaw] Conference Call to Discuss Use of the Aira Visual
Interpreter

Hello, all. Several blind attorneys have expressed a desire to discuss the
use of the Aira visual interpreter in legal practice. For those who are
unfamiliar with the service, more information can be found at
www.aira.io<http://www.aira.io>. The service is currently working to become
HIPAA compliant, and they have a confidentiality and security paper which I
have attached to this email.

Tim Elder did a great presentation on the ethical concerns with use of Aira
at our 2018 National Association of Blind Lawyers (NABL) meeting and he has
also expressed interest in participating in the call.  Ronza Othman
mentioned that NABL used to have quarterly conference calls and that this
might be a good topic to revive these calls. I am happy to organize such a
call if NABL members are interested. Please respond if you are interested,
and note days and times you are typically available. I would like to
schedule this call as soon as possible.

Court rules against Dunkin Donuts over blind customer’s access to website
Business Insurance
July 31, 2018
Judy Greenwald

A federal appeals court overturned a lower court and ruled a blind plaintiff can pursue an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit against Dunkin Donuts L.L.C. for allegedly having an inaccessible website.

The case is part of a trend, with more courts ruling against companies over the issue of website accessibility, while the number of lawsuits alleging ADA violations related to website access grows dramatically.

The case decided Tuesday involved Dennis Haynes, who is blind and relies on screen reading software to use the internet, according to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta in Dennis Haynes v. Dunkin’ Donuts L.L.C., a foreign limited liability company, DD IP Holder L.L.C., CashStar Inc.

Mr. Haynes sued Canton, Mass-based Dunkin Donuts in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, claiming the company violated Title III of the ADA by not maintaining a website compatible with screen reading software.

The District Court dismissed the case, which was overturned by a unanimous three-judge appeals court panel. It appears Dunkin’ Donuts’ website “is a service that facilitates the use of Dunkin Donuts’ shops, which are places of public accommodation,” the ruling states.

Under the ADA, “whatever goods and services Dunkin’ Donuts offers as a part of its place of public accommodation, it cannot discriminate against people on the basis of a disability, even if those goods and services are intangible,” the ruling says.

Mr. Haynes could not access services offered online by Dunkin’ Donuts’, including information about store locations and the ability to buy gift cards online.

“The failure to make those services accessible to the blind can be said to exclude, deny, or otherwise treat blind people ‘differently than other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services,’” said the ruling, in quoting the ADA and remanding the case for further proceedings.

Students With Disabilities Sue ACT Over Release of Personal Information
Education Week
August 7, 2018
By Catherine Gewertz

A group of college-bound students with special needs and their parents filed suit Monday against ACT Inc., claiming the the testmaker illegally disclosed to colleges that they have disabilities.

The class action suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, challenges the way the Iowa-based company uses information about students with disabilities. It collects that information as part of the "profile" students fill out online as they register for the college-admission exam, and an information form that students complete on the day of the exam.

Introductory text in the profile tells students they can skip any question they don't want to answer, but says it's intended to "help you think about your future education and to help colleges in their planning."

But instead of keeping it confidential, the suit says, ACT shares it with colleges by "flagging" their test-score reports, indicating that the scores were earned by someone who took the exam with accommodations.

ACT and the College Board, which makes the SAT, agreed years ago to stop flagging the test scores of students who take the exam with accommodations, after that practice drew widespread criticism.

But the new lawsuit says that the version of the score report that ACT sends to colleges shows information about disabilities, while the version that goes to students and their high schools does not.

Using students' personal information that way "stigmatizes" them as they apply to college, Rahul Ravipudi, one of the attorneys on the students' legal team, says in a prepared statement.

Edward Colby, a spokesman for ACT, said the company doesn't comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit also takes issue with ACT for selling students' information to colleges, scholarship programs, and other organizations for recruitment and marketing.

It says that ACT sells a searchable database to enrollment managers at colleges, and bills it as a way to find the "right students for your institution," and provide the right support so students can succeed. But that information can also help colleges "create markets that intentionally exclude categories of students based upon the data elements provided, including students with disabilities," the suit says.

"ACT profits off these violations and uses them to gain an edge in the marketplace over its only competitor, the College Board, which does not disclose students' disabilities to colleges and universities," the lawsuit says.

The students-from families in California, Colorado and Nevada-claim that their work prospects could be affected, also, because the data report created by ACT's WorkKeys assessment-a popular career-readiness test-suggests that they took that exam with accommodations. "Tens of thousands of employers may have access to this data at any given time," the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit describes how ACT's information-sharing practices played out for the students. Halie Bloom, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif., graduated from high school this past spring. Because of attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and a reading disability, she's had an individualized education plan, or IEP, since middle school.

Bloom took the ACT several times with approved accommodations. ACT acquired the information about her disability from her test-registration process. The score reports it sent to the colleges she requested included a notation that she had a "learning or cognitive disability."

Bloom will attend the University of Arizona in the fall. But she believes that colleges and scholarship organizations may have declined to consider her after ACT shared her disability status with them.

"I was shocked to learn that ACT was using my disability information against me and making it more difficult for me to get into college and get the money I need to go to college," Bloom said in a prepared statement. "I'm speaking out, because I know that someone has to stand up for all of the students who are scared about how their disabilities will be used against them."

The lawsuit seeks a court order that would bar ACT from collecting or disclosing students' disability status to third parties as of the next administration of the test, in September. It also seeks damages for violation of students' privacy and civil rights.

Cody,

It would be great if you could join the call. Would anyone else be interested in joining? The more of us join, the better, as we may be able to come up with more ideas collectively.

I think this is a great topic for a call. I also recently went through a job hunt after having been out of school for eight and a half years (with almost eight of those spent working for one firm). My  interview experiences   included in-person, telephone, and facetime interviews.  I would be interested in joining the call if my schedule permits.

> L.L.C., a foreign limited liability company, DD IP Holder L.L.C., CashStar

>
> Mr. Haynes sued Canton, Mass-based Dunkin Donuts in U.S. District Court in
> Fort Lauderdale, Florida, claiming the company violated Title III of the
> ADA by not maintaining a website compatible with screen reading software.
>
> The District Court dismissed the case, which was overturned by a unanimous
> three-judge appeals court panel. It appears Dunkin? Donuts? website ?is a
> service that facilitates the use of Dunkin Donuts? shops, which are places
> of public accommodation,? the ruling states.
>
> Under the ADA, ?whatever goods and services Dunkin? Donuts offers as a
> part of its place of public accommodation, it cannot discriminate against

>
> Mr. Haynes could not access services offered online by Dunkin? Donuts?,
> including information about store locations and the ability to buy gift
> cards online.
>
> ?The failure to make those services accessible to the blind can be said to
> exclude, deny, or otherwise treat blind people ?differently than other

> Students With Disabilities Sue ACT Over Release of Personal Information
> Education Week
> August 7, 2018
> By Catherine Gewertz
>
> A group of college-bound students with special needs and their parents
> filed suit Monday against ACT Inc., claiming the the testmaker illegally
> disclosed to colleges that they have disabilities.
>
> The class action suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles,
> challenges the way the Iowa-based company uses information about students
> with disabilities. It collects that information as part of the "profile"
> students fill out online as they register for the college-admission exam,
> and an information form that students complete on the day of the exam.
>
> Introductory text in the profile tells students they can skip any question
> they don't want to answer, but says it's intended to "help you think about
> your future education and to help colleges in their planning."
>
> But instead of keeping it confidential, the suit says, ACT shares it with
> colleges by "flagging" their test-score reports, indicating that the scores
> were earned by someone who took the exam with accommodations.
>
> ACT and the College Board, which makes the SAT, agreed years ago to stop
> flagging the test scores of students who take the exam with accommodations,
> after that practice drew widespread criticism.
>
> But the new lawsuit says that the version of the score report that ACT
> sends to colleges shows information about disabilities, while the version
> that goes to students and their high schools does not.
>
> Using students' personal information that way "stigmatizes" them as they
> apply to college, Rahul Ravipudi, one of the attorneys on the students'
> legal team, says in a prepared statement.
>
> Edward Colby, a spokesman for ACT, said the company doesn't comment on
> pending litigation.
>
> The lawsuit also takes issue with ACT for selling students' information to
> colleges, scholarship programs, and other organizations for recruitment and
> marketing.
>
> It says that ACT sells a searchable database to enrollment managers at
> colleges, and bills it as a way to find the "right students for your
> institution," and provide the right support so students can succeed. But
> that information can also help colleges "create markets that intentionally
> exclude categories of students based upon the data elements provided,
> including students with disabilities," the suit says.
>
> "ACT profits off these violations and uses them to gain an edge in the
> marketplace over its only competitor, the College Board, which does not
> disclose students' disabilities to colleges and universities," the lawsuit
> says.
>
> The students-from families in California, Colorado and Nevada-claim that
> their work prospects could be affected, also, because the data report
> created by ACT's WorkKeys assessment-a popular career-readiness
> test-suggests that they took that exam with accommodations. "Tens of
> thousands of employers may have access to this data at any given time," the
> lawsuit says.
>
> The lawsuit describes how ACT's information-sharing practices played out
> for the students. Halie Bloom, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif.,
> graduated from high school this past spring. Because of
> attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and a reading disability, she's
> had an individualized education plan, or IEP, since middle school.
>
> Bloom took the ACT several times with approved accommodations. ACT
> acquired the information about her disability from her test-registration
> process. The score reports it sent to the colleges she requested included a
> notation that she had a "learning or cognitive disability."
>
> Bloom will attend the University of Arizona in the fall. But she believes
> that colleges and scholarship organizations may have declined to consider
> her after ACT shared her disability status with them.
>
> "I was shocked to learn that ACT was using my disability information
> against me and making it more difficult for me to get into college and get
> the money I need to go to college," Bloom said in a prepared statement.
> "I'm speaking out, because I know that someone has to stand up for all of
> the students who are scared about how their disabilities will be used
> against them."
>
> The lawsuit seeks a court order that would bar ACT from collecting or
> disclosing students' disability status to third parties as of the next
> administration of the test, in September. It also seeks damages for
> violation of students' privacy and civil rights.

>> 
>> A federal appeals court overturned a lower court and ruled a blind
>> plaintiff can pursue an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit against
>> Dunkin Donuts L.L.C. for allegedly having an inaccessible website.
>> 
>> The case is part of a trend, with more courts ruling against companies
>> over the issue of website accessibility, while the number of lawsuits
>> alleging ADA violations related to website access grows dramatically.
>> 
>> The case decided Tuesday involved Dennis Haynes, who is blind and relies
>> on screen reading software to use the internet, according to the 11th U.S.
>> Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta in Dennis Haynes v. Dunkin? Donuts
>> L.L.C., a foreign limited liability company, DD IP Holder L.L.C., CashStar
>> Inc.
>> 
>> Mr. Haynes sued Canton, Mass-based Dunkin Donuts in U.S. District Court in
>> Fort Lauderdale, Florida, claiming the company violated Title III of the
>> ADA by not maintaining a website compatible with screen reading software.
>> 
>> The District Court dismissed the case, which was overturned by a unanimous
>> three-judge appeals court panel. It appears Dunkin? Donuts? website ?is a
>> service that facilitates the use of Dunkin Donuts? shops, which are places
>> of public accommodation,? the ruling states.
>> 
>> Under the ADA, ?whatever goods and services Dunkin? Donuts offers as a
>> part of its place of public accommodation, it cannot discriminate against
>> people on the basis of a disability, even if those goods and services are
>> intangible,? the ruling says.
>> 
>> Mr. Haynes could not access services offered online by Dunkin? Donuts?,
>> including information about store locations and the ability to buy gift
>> cards online.
>> 
>> ?The failure to make those services accessible to the blind can be said to
>> exclude, deny, or otherwise treat blind people ?differently than other
>> individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services,?? said
>> the ruling, in quoting the ADA and remanding the case for further
>> proceedings.

>> Students With Disabilities Sue ACT Over Release of Personal Information
>> Education Week
>> August 7, 2018
>> By Catherine Gewertz
>> 
>> A group of college-bound students with special needs and their parents
>> filed suit Monday against ACT Inc., claiming the the testmaker illegally
>> disclosed to colleges that they have disabilities.
>> 
>> The class action suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles,
>> challenges the way the Iowa-based company uses information about students
>> with disabilities. It collects that information as part of the "profile"
>> students fill out online as they register for the college-admission exam,
>> and an information form that students complete on the day of the exam.
>> 
>> Introductory text in the profile tells students they can skip any question
>> they don't want to answer, but says it's intended to "help you think about
>> your future education and to help colleges in their planning."
>> 
>> But instead of keeping it confidential, the suit says, ACT shares it with
>> colleges by "flagging" their test-score reports, indicating that the scores
>> were earned by someone who took the exam with accommodations.
>> 
>> ACT and the College Board, which makes the SAT, agreed years ago to stop
>> flagging the test scores of students who take the exam with accommodations,
>> after that practice drew widespread criticism.
>> 
>> But the new lawsuit says that the version of the score report that ACT
>> sends to colleges shows information about disabilities, while the version
>> that goes to students and their high schools does not.
>> 
>> Using students' personal information that way "stigmatizes" them as they
>> apply to college, Rahul Ravipudi, one of the attorneys on the students'
>> legal team, says in a prepared statement.
>> 
>> Edward Colby, a spokesman for ACT, said the company doesn't comment on
>> pending litigation.
>> 
>> The lawsuit also takes issue with ACT for selling students' information to
>> colleges, scholarship programs, and other organizations for recruitment and
>> marketing.
>> 
>> It says that ACT sells a searchable database to enrollment managers at
>> colleges, and bills it as a way to find the "right students for your
>> institution," and provide the right support so students can succeed. But
>> that information can also help colleges "create markets that intentionally
>> exclude categories of students based upon the data elements provided,
>> including students with disabilities," the suit says.
>> 
>> "ACT profits off these violations and uses them to gain an edge in the
>> marketplace over its only competitor, the College Board, which does not
>> disclose students' disabilities to colleges and universities," the lawsuit
>> says.
>> 
>> The students-from families in California, Colorado and Nevada-claim that
>> their work prospects could be affected, also, because the data report
>> created by ACT's WorkKeys assessment-a popular career-readiness
>> test-suggests that they took that exam with accommodations. "Tens of
>> thousands of employers may have access to this data at any given time," the
>> lawsuit says.
>> 
>> The lawsuit describes how ACT's information-sharing practices played out
>> for the students. Halie Bloom, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif.,
>> graduated from high school this past spring. Because of
>> attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and a reading disability, she's
>> had an individualized education plan, or IEP, since middle school.
>> 
>> Bloom took the ACT several times with approved accommodations. ACT
>> acquired the information about her disability from her test-registration
>> process. The score reports it sent to the colleges she requested included a
>> notation that she had a "learning or cognitive disability."
>> 
>> Bloom will attend the University of Arizona in the fall. But she believes
>> that colleges and scholarship organizations may have declined to consider
>> her after ACT shared her disability status with them.
>> 
>> "I was shocked to learn that ACT was using my disability information
>> against me and making it more difficult for me to get into college and get
>> the money I need to go to college," Bloom said in a prepared statement.
>> "I'm speaking out, because I know that someone has to stand up for all of
>> the students who are scared about how their disabilities will be used
>> against them."
>> 
>> The lawsuit seeks a court order that would bar ACT from collecting or
>> disclosing students' disability status to third parties as of the next
>> administration of the test, in September. It also seeks damages for
>> violation of students' privacy and civil rights.

Given the interest in the job search call, we could use one of those free conference call services. I think something in the evening would probably be best in case there are some who might work or have other obligations during the day. Any thoughts?

I know tomorrow during the day isn't the best for me, but days generally work better than evenings. If evening is better for everyone, though, that's fine.

All, It seems like tomorrow at 2PM is a good time for most. Here’s the information for the call in. I should be able to record the call and others wo cannot call in tomorrow can call a number later to listen to the recording. 

Call in #: 605-472-5525
Access code: 541655

I’ll send out the information to access the recording after the call. 

Does this work for everyone?

Respectfully,

Howard:

In addition to JAWS, I recommend that you request some optical character recognition software. You don't necessarily need software designed specifically for blind users, though if you are already familiar with Kurzweil or OpenBook, you will face less of a learning curve. If you do not already know a particular OCR program, I recommend ABBYY FineReader or OmniPage. These are commercial software programs that can recognize documents and convert to many document formats including Microsoft Word. FineReader and OmniPage are significantly less expensive than Kurzweil or OpenBook, though cost may not be a concern for you. I use ABBYY FineReader for all OCR. 

These software packages can convert most PDF documents to largely legible Word documents, as long as the documents aren't handwritten. If you need to be able to scan hard copy documents, you will need to buy a scanner. I have had good luck with Fujitsu and HP machines. Some Samsung all-in-one scanner/printer models are powered by Android tablets which have some screen reading capabilities, but these machines are expensive to purchase. My office rents me one for approximately $20 a month.

If you need a new laptop, I recommend the HP Spectre 13" or the Lenovo X1 Carbon. These are powerful, small and lightweight machines ideal for those who do not require use of larger screens. Ask for at least 8GB of RAM, the highest speed processor you can get, and a solid state drive (SSD) for file storage. If you have questions, please contact me off list at ttomasi at driowa.org.

All, It seems like tomorrow at 2PM is a good time for most. Here’s the 
information for the call in. I should be able to record the call and others 
wo cannot call in tomorrow can call a number later to listen to the 
recording.

Call in #: 605-472-5525
Access code: 541655

I’ll send out the information to access the recording after the call.

Does this work for everyone?

Cody,

Could you please clarify the time zone? We do want to make sure everyone calls in at the same time. Thanks.

All, It seems like tomorrow at 2PM is a good time for most. Here’s the information for the call in. I should be able to record the call and others wo cannot call in tomorrow can call a number later to listen to the recording. 

Call in #: 605-472-5525
Access code: 541655

I’ll send out the information to access the recording after the call. 

Does this work for everyone?

Respectfully,

It is 2 PM Eastern. Sorry, I attempted to send out that clarification last night but it appears it did not leave my outbox. If 2 PM Eastern today is too late notice, we can try for something next week.

Message-ID: <B0A4F904-C16C-46E7-B568-BBB94D7E6820@gmail.com>

All, 

Below is the info to access a recording of our call yesterday. 

Call 605-475-4981
Enter access code 541655
Follow prompts to listen to the most recent recording

Ignore the message when you first call in that says your call cannot be completed. Also, there’s a lot of dead air in the beginning, so you can press 6 to fast-toward in 1 minute intervals. 

Respectfully,
Cody J. Davis, J.D., M.P.A.

Hi all,

I am currently studying for the Ontario bar. It is a two day 480 question exam that covers about 2,000 pages of material.

The exam is open book, and the scores are curved. I'm having a hard time dealing with the index.

Sighted students talk a lot about having tabs, and indexes that they can use to quickly look up the information they need. Time is a large component of the exam, and even though I will have twice as much time, making this a four day exam, I am still concerned about the time to look things up quickly.

For starters, the pdf file they sent was difficult to use, so I converted it to a word file, but this expanded the number of pages. So any index that other people have for this already will not work, because the page numbers won't line up.

Ideally, I would most likely want an html type of document with embedded links, then I could use the jaws find for specific words, and click on links within an index to quickly go to where I need to.

However, I have no idea how to format that.

If anyone has anysuggestions for writing the bar I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Ben

Graham Hardy is a member of this list and took the bar in British Columbia. Hopefully, he will chime in. I'm not sure if the exams are similar in each of these provinces. 

Ben, could you pay someone to put headings into the word document or convert it into an HTML document with links? Can you contact other blind attorneys who have taken the bar in Ontario to see how they approached this issue? Are you still affiliated with the university where you attended law school and would they be willing to assist in making the document accessible?

Hi Ben,

I wrote the bar in British Columbia and had a similar experience (though a much smaller number of questions). Two things were helpful. First, when I approached the Law Society, they gladly provided me their source files in Microsoft Word format. These were, of course, formatted for printing and I had to clean up their formatting quite a bit. I also applied heading styles so that I could jump around using JAWS quick navigation commands. I knew that many students used indices but I didn't bother trying to rely on those, as I knew that having a page number would only point to a rather large section of a document, given the small font, and it would have taken longer to search things out. In addition to headings, which helped me navigate quickly to places I was very familiar with, I used the text search commands to look for words in areas which I hadn't indexed. Above all, tempting as it may be to use the open book as a crutch, it cannot be emphasised too much that having an open book should be a memory aid and can slow anyone down, sighted or blind, who has to look things up for every question. You should try as much as humanly possible to be familiar with the material.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

All, 

Below is the info to access a recording of our call yesterday. 

Call 605-475-4981
Enter access code 541655
Follow prompts to listen to the most recent recording

Ignore the message when you first call in that says your call cannot be completed. Also, there’s a lot of dead air in the beginning, so you can press 6 to fast-toward in 1 minute intervals. 

Respectfully,
Cody J. Davis, J.D., M.P.A.

I wonder if it is because the doodle is so inaccessible.  I had to have my
sighted husband put in the dates and times I am available.  And maybe it is
just me; maybe it is accessible for others.  Just a thought.  You might want
to give some tips on using it; I was using my I-Phone.

Thanks!

I am so sorry you found it inaccessible. I am a totally blind JAWS user and frequently use Doodle. I have never needed sighted assistance to use it.  I wonder if it has become less accessible since I last used it. The last time I used it, it required use of JAWS commands for navigating tables, but it was the most accessible platform I had ever used for this function. Creating and sending out a Doodle poll was also very accessible.

Hi Tai and Graham,

Those are good suggestions. I have already converted it to word, and am cleaning up the formatting as I go, so I'm not sure if asking for another word document at this time would help.

As I read each chapter I cut it into a separate file. This way I have a file for each chapter, instead of one gigantic 1,000 page file.

Someone I know does computer programming and I have approached him about designing html links.

I can try to approach the Law School, but I have found a lot of their help to be lacking, especially in matters outside the actual school itself. I could go on about the improperly formatted resumes they gave me to apply to jobs with, and how it took a friend of mine pointing out how bad they looked visually before I realized there was a problem, and this was after I made it explicit that I needed their help making the information visually presentable.

I reached out to a couple of blind lawyers in Ontario. The two I was able to talk with wrote the bar 30+ years ago, before computers. It would be great talking with someone who wrote the bar in the last 10 years.

I don't know how to add heading styles in a word document or navigate using that. If I could learn a little more about that, it would probably help.

I also don't have a lot of experience using the word find function in a document. I know how to hit control F to search for a specific word, but are there other functions that could help?

Graham, I'll message you off list. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben Fulton

Hi Ben,

I wrote the bar in British Columbia and had a similar experience (though a much smaller number of questions). Two things were helpful. First, when I approached the Law Society, they gladly provided me their source files in Microsoft Word format. These were, of course, formatted for printing and I had to clean up their formatting quite a bit. I also applied heading styles so that I could jump around using JAWS quick navigation commands. I knew that many students used indices but I didn't bother trying to rely on those, as I knew that having a page number would only point to a rather large section of a document, given the small font, and it would have taken longer to search things out. In addition to headings, which helped me navigate quickly to places I was very familiar with, I used the text search commands to look for words in areas which I hadn't indexed. Above all, tempting as it may be to use the open book as a crutch, it cannot be emphasised too much that having an open book should be a memory aid and can slow anyone down, sighted or blind, who has to look things up for every question. You should try as much as humanly possible to be familiar with the material.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Graham Hardy is a member of this list and took the bar in British Columbia. Hopefully, he will chime in. I'm not sure if the exams are similar in each of these provinces. 

Ben, could you pay someone to put headings into the word document or convert it into an HTML document with links? Can you contact other blind attorneys who have taken the bar in Ontario to see how they approached this issue? Are you still affiliated with the university where you attended law school and would they be willing to assist in making the document accessible?

Subject: [blindlaw] Writing the bar exam


Hi all,

I am currently studying for the Ontario bar. It is a two day 480 question exam that covers about 2,000 pages of material.

The exam is open book, and the scores are curved. I'm having a hard time dealing with the index.

Sighted students talk a lot about having tabs, and indexes that they can use to quickly look up the information they need. Time is a large component of the exam, and even though I will have twice as much time, making this a four day exam, I am still concerned about the time to look things up quickly.

For starters, the pdf file they sent was difficult to use, so I converted it to a word file, but this expanded the number of pages. So any index that other people have for this already will not work, because the page numbers won't line up.

Ideally, I would most likely want an html type of document with embedded links, then I could use the jaws find for specific words, and click on links within an index to quickly go to where I need to.

However, I have no idea how to format that.

If anyone has anysuggestions for writing the bar I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Ben

Ben:

Navigate to the text you wish to make into a heading, hit the home key, select the line with control shift down arrow or select by word using control shift right arrow. Once you have selected the text you wish to convert into a heading, Hit alt control 1 to make it a level 1 heading, alt control 2 to make it a second-level heading, etc. Once you have identified all of your headings in this manner, you can hit insert F6 to bring up a list of headings and the text identifying these headings. Arrow to the heading you want and press enter to navigate to it. This makes document navigation really simple. Perhaps other list members know of even easier methods for accomplishing this, but I have found this a timesaver in the long run despite significant work on the front end.

Hi Tai and Graham,

Those are good suggestions. I have already converted it to word, and am cleaning up the formatting as I go, so I'm not sure if asking for another word document at this time would help.

As I read each chapter I cut it into a separate file. This way I have a file for each chapter, instead of one gigantic 1,000 page file.

Someone I know does computer programming and I have approached him about designing html links.

I can try to approach the Law School, but I have found a lot of their help to be lacking, especially in matters outside the actual school itself. I could go on about the improperly formatted resumes they gave me to apply to jobs with, and how it took a friend of mine pointing out how bad they looked visually before I realized there was a problem, and this was after I made it explicit that I needed their help making the information visually presentable.

I reached out to a couple of blind lawyers in Ontario. The two I was able to talk with wrote the bar 30+ years ago, before computers. It would be great talking with someone who wrote the bar in the last 10 years.

I don't know how to add heading styles in a word document or navigate using that. If I could learn a little more about that, it would probably help.

I also don't have a lot of experience using the word find function in a document. I know how to hit control F to search for a specific word, but are there other functions that could help?

Graham, I'll message you off list. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben Fulton

Hi Ben,

I wrote the bar in British Columbia and had a similar experience (though a much smaller number of questions). Two things were helpful. First, when I approached the Law Society, they gladly provided me their source files in Microsoft Word format. These were, of course, formatted for printing and I had to clean up their formatting quite a bit. I also applied heading styles so that I could jump around using JAWS quick navigation commands. I knew that many students used indices but I didn't bother trying to rely on those, as I knew that having a page number would only point to a rather large section of a document, given the small font, and it would have taken longer to search things out. In addition to headings, which helped me navigate quickly to places I was very familiar with, I used the text search commands to look for words in areas which I hadn't indexed. Above all, tempting as it may be to use the open book as a crutch, it cannot be emphasised too much that having an open book sho  uld be a memory aid and can slow anyone down, sighted or blind, who has to look things up for every question. You should try as much as humanly possible to be familiar with the material.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Graham Hardy is a member of this list and took the bar in British Columbia. Hopefully, he will chime in. I'm not sure if the exams are similar in each of these provinces. 

Ben, could you pay someone to put headings into the word document or convert it into an HTML document with links? Can you contact other blind attorneys who have taken the bar in Ontario to see how they approached this issue? Are you still affiliated with the university where you attended law school and would they be willing to assist in making the document accessible?

Subject: [blindlaw] Writing the bar exam


Hi all,

I am currently studying for the Ontario bar. It is a two day 480 question exam that covers about 2,000 pages of material.

The exam is open book, and the scores are curved. I'm having a hard time dealing with the index.

Sighted students talk a lot about having tabs, and indexes that they can use to quickly look up the information they need. Time is a large component of the exam, and even though I will have twice as much time, making this a four day exam, I am still concerned about the time to look things up quickly.

For starters, the pdf file they sent was difficult to use, so I converted it to a word file, but this expanded the number of pages. So any index that other people have for this already will not work, because the page numbers won't line up.

Ideally, I would most likely want an html type of document with embedded links, then I could use the jaws find for specific words, and click on links within an index to quickly go to where I need to.

However, I have no idea how to format that.

If anyone has anysuggestions for writing the bar I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Ben

Hi Ben,

I live in India and gave the bar exam here last year. While it is
admittedly a much easier exam than the bar exam in North America,
inasmuch as we're asked fairly basic questions that require us to find
section numbers and case names relating to a given rule in
contradistinction to fact patterns in which you'd have to apply the
law, here are a few things I found helpful, for what they are worth:

First, I think dividing the material into different word files based
on the concerned subject area is absolutely critical which is
something that you're already doing, as opposed to having a lot of
content in one place.

Second, the find command is fairly straightforward to use and
acquiring mastery over the command is vital. One useful pointer might
be to use control+ page down to the next search result and
control+page up to go to the previous one, as opposed to having to go
back to the find box and press enter each time. You can also use the
find command that is specifically for JAWS users, control+insert=f,
but I don't think that is necessary in word documents.

Third, as Graham says, you can use the quick navigation keys, insert+z
and then use h to jump from one heading to another.

Fourth, you might want to put a lot of bookmarks/ place markers in the
word documents that you're working with, to make it easier to access
relevant pieces of information. Kindly see Michael Nowiki's mail on
this list to find out how to do this, even though his advice was qua
PDFs.

Fifth, again, as Graham says, trying to minimize one's dependence on
the open book material is always a good idea, doubly so for someone
who is blind and dependent on technology which is not always reliable.

Best,
Rahul

I would add another two points to Tai and Rahul.

First, when marking headings with Ctrl+Alt+1, 2, 3, etc, it is not necessary to select the text. This is because the heading styles are paragraph styles and apply to the whole of a Word paragraph as soon as they are applied.

Second, I don't remember if you use JAWS or NVDA or something else, but in the JAWS quick navigation mode or the NVDA browse mode, you can use numbers to move to a level of the corresponding number. For instance, I had my materials for a specific subject area (civil procedure, real estate, professional ethics, etc) in one file, and to jump amongst the chapters I could simply enable JAWS quick navigation with Insert+Z and press the number 1 to move forward or Shift+1 to move backward. To drill down, of course, assuming you had marked the headings out correctly, you could use 2, 3, and so on, to locate other headings.

Third, there is also a tree view in most later Word versions in the navigation pane, navigated to with a few presses of F6, that allows you to move through and collapse levels of headings with the arrow keys. Last time I tried using this feature it was deficient in the sense that JAWS didn't announce the level of heading and it was a bit confusing to use.

Graham:

Thanks for the tip about not needing to select the text to mark it as a heading. I was unaware of this, and this will save me some time. I appreciate your technical knowledge.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Writing the bar exam

I would add another two points to Tai and Rahul.

First, when marking headings with Ctrl+Alt+1, 2, 3, etc, it is not necessary to select the text. This is because the heading styles are paragraph styles and apply to the whole of a Word paragraph as soon as they are applied.

Second, I don't remember if you use JAWS or NVDA or something else, but in the JAWS quick navigation mode or the NVDA browse mode, you can use numbers to move to a level of the corresponding number. For instance, I had my materials for a specific subject area (civil procedure, real estate, professional ethics, etc) in one file, and to jump amongst the chapters I could simply enable JAWS quick navigation with Insert+Z and press the number 1 to move forward or Shift+1 to move backward. To drill down, of course, assuming you had marked the headings out correctly, you could use 2, 3, and so on, to locate other headings.

Third, there is also a tree view in most later Word versions in the navigation pane, navigated to with a few presses of F6, that allows you to move through and collapse levels of headings with the arrow keys. Last time I tried using this feature it was deficient in the sense that JAWS didn't announce the level of heading and it was a bit confusing to use.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Writing the bar exam

Hi Ben,

I live in India and gave the bar exam here last year. While it is admittedly a much easier exam than the bar exam in North America, inasmuch as we're asked fairly basic questions that require us to find section numbers and case names relating to a given rule in contradistinction to fact patterns in which you'd have to apply the law, here are a few things I found helpful, for what they are worth:

First, I think dividing the material into different word files based on the concerned subject area is absolutely critical which is something that you're already doing, as opposed to having a lot of content in one place.

Second, the find command is fairly straightforward to use and acquiring mastery over the command is vital. One useful pointer might be to use control+ page down to the next search result and
control+page up to go to the previous one, as opposed to having to go
back to the find box and press enter each time. You can also use the find command that is specifically for JAWS users, control+insert=f, but I don't think that is necessary in word documents.

Third, as Graham says, you can use the quick navigation keys, insert+z and then use h to jump from one heading to another.

Fourth, you might want to put a lot of bookmarks/ place markers in the word documents that you're working with, to make it easier to access relevant pieces of information. Kindly see Michael Nowiki's mail on this list to find out how to do this, even though his advice was qua PDFs.

Fifth, again, as Graham says, trying to minimize one's dependence on the open book material is always a good idea, doubly so for someone who is blind and dependent on technology which is not always reliable.

Best,
Rahul

Subject: [blindlaw] Reduced Billable Hour Requirement as an ADA accommodation
Message-ID: <0PFB00CFEFR7KR20@st11p00im-asmtp003.me.com>

Hi Everyone,

During last week’s conference call on job interview tips for blind attorneys, I brought up the subject of meeting billable hour requirements as a blind attorney. I now have a follow-up question on that topic. Given the fact that we often need more time to complete some tasks than our sighted colleagues due to access barriers, assistive technology limitations, etc., and that it would be unethical to bill clients for this extra time, does requesting a reasonable reduction in the annual billable hour requirement (e.g., from 2,000 to 1,800 hours) qualify as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and/or similar disability rights laws? Is there any on-point authority? Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I want to do transactional work, most of which is still done on a billable hour basis.

Best,

Michal

Michal,
I would have to look into the cases concerning law firms or similar businesses with billable hour requirements. I don’t see why the logic of ADA cases and regs, which do require employers to be open to a certain amount of rearrangement of job functions, would not apply to billable hour requirements. So on paper, there might be a case to be made here. Of course, the firm would argue that meeting the billable hour requirement was an essential job function, and I don’t see too many federal judges, especially those coming out of big law, disagreeing.
Regardless, I would be extremely hesitant to try to make that case. Far too many firms are already skittish about hiring us, either because their document management systems are inaccessible or because of ableist assumptions about our productivity. Requesting a reduction in billable hours would raise a huge red flag. The harsh reality is that most of us will simply have to work harder, and potentially put in longer hours, than our sighted peers to get, and keep, good legal jobs.

I would ask for more administrative support which can help offset the loss in time.

That would be extremely misguided in my view. Reduction in essential work 
responsibilities should never be a basis for a request for reasonable 
accommodation. I wouldn't do it even if it were legally permissible.

If you are asking for a billable hour reduction now, what will you next ask 
to have reduced? This is unfair to everyone else. These are the things your 
potential employer will be thinking about.

Colleagues:



I don't believe in the premise. There are times when a piece of technology is more cumbersome to use as a blind lawyer than it would be to use as a sighted lawyer. However, lawyers get paid for time and talent. Ultimately the talent of blind lawyers must be equivalent to that of sighted lawyers, and my observation is that this is true. All lawyers have limitations. Some of them are limitations of temperament, some of mood, some of background and training, some of interest, some of intelligence, and no doubt many others. To single out one limitation and make it more important than all the others is a mistake in assessment. I am not as good as certain of my colleagues in some areas of the law. However, I am much better than many of my colleagues in other areas. What do I have to sell? Intelligence, aggressiveness, a dogged persistence, a faith in my clients, and a measure of experience. I have no compunction whatever in charging people for these. If you want them, you get to pay for them. Some people get them for free, but they have to convince me that it's worth it to me. Sometimes I'm slow, but I'm good when I work. I am not selling accessibility. I am selling talent and commitment. I remember giving advice to a job applicant who put on a resume that the applicant had the best computer and was therefore worth hiring. I wondered out loud why the employer didn't just buy the computer and skip hiring the employee. People hire me because I have the brains and the talent to use them. This is what blind lawyers should sell.

Hi Everyone,



During last week’s conference call on job interview tips for blind attorneys, I brought up the subject of meeting billable hour requirements as a blind attorney. I now have a follow-up question on that topic. Given the fact that we often need more time to complete some tasks than our sighted colleagues due to access barriers, assistive technology limitations, etc., and that it would be unethical to bill clients for this extra time, does requesting a reasonable reduction in the annual billable hour requirement (e.g., from 2,000 to 1,800 hours) qualify as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and/or similar disability rights laws? Is there any on-point authority? Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I want to do transactional work, most of which is still done on a billable hour basis.



Best,



Michal

I agree with Mark, except insofar as he says that it would be wrong to single out the limitation of blindness as being especially debilitating. I think it is a singularly debilitating limitation, and it and other limitations of mood, temprament and the like are not mutually exclusive. Nothing inoculates a blind lawyer from having these limitations over and above the limitation of blindness.

That caveat notwithstanding, I think that demanding this accommodation of relaxation of the billable hours requirement may not be prudent. Like I said on the call, a blind transactional lawyer has to find ways of being better than their colleagues in other areas, such as learning to read faster. Blindness gives rise to several limitations which cannot be wished away. But if one is able to make a good case for the proposition that one's knowledge of the law, articulation ability and communication and interpersonal skills are superior to those of one's competitors, the impact of the disability can be mitigated.

Best,
Rahul

Very well-put. There are many, far superior, ways to skin this particular cat. Working harder and delivering the goods in a timely manner without making excuses, blindness-related or otherwise,seems to be the best strategy, at least in my limited experience. And if you are concerned about billable hour requirements, which numerous sighted lawyers are as well, then consider a smaller firm or government agency. You can do excellent work and still have a life.

Given the fact that we often need more time to complete some tasks than our sighted colleagues due to access barriers, assistive technology limitations, etc., and that it would be unethical to bill clients for this extra time, does requesting a reasonable reduction in the annual billable hour requirement (e.g., from 2,000 to 1,800 hours) qualify as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and/or similar disability rights laws? Is there any on-point authority? Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I want to do transactional work, most of which is still done on a billable hour basis.

it depends on how you are measuring what is considered debilitating. If a 
sighted colleague measures extremely low on the intelligence, competence, 
and ethics scale, which are essential qualities of a good attorney, 
regardless of your blindness, this attorney will be less of a valued asset 
to the employer. Blindness is not even part of this equation. This is the 
reason why I found it misguided to redirect the employer's hiring interest 
to your blindness, as oppose to your intelligence, competence, and ethics.

Such an approach is  counterproductive. This is not reasonable accommodation 
but more of a self-inflicted degradation of one's professional standing.

I think there need to be a seminar of sort to help blind attorneys 
understand how to sell oneself effectively as a blind professional. We need 
that in this competitive environment. Not just at job interviews, but in 
other professional business interactions with clients and colleagues and 
partners.

I agree with Mark, except insofar as he says that it would be wrong to 
single out the limitation of blindness as being especially debilitating. I 
think it is a singularly debilitating limitation, and it and other 
limitations of mood, temprament and the like are not mutually exclusive. 
Nothing inoculates a blind lawyer from having these limitations over and 
above the limitation of blindness.

That caveat notwithstanding, I think that demanding this accommodation of 
relaxation of the billable hours requirement may not be prudent. Like I said 
on the call, a blind transactional lawyer has to find ways of being better 
than their colleagues in other areas, such as learning to read faster. 
Blindness gives rise to several limitations which cannot be wished away. But 
if one is able to make a good case for the proposition that one's knowledge 
of the law, articulation ability and communication and interpersonal skills 
are superior to those of one's competitors, the impact of the disability can 
be mitigated.

Best,
Rahul

Subject: [blindlaw] Denial of technology to a visually impaired high schooler
Message-ID: <DBCF24A0BA35D44682143E294F98708975A494DD@NAEXMB07.sidley.com>

Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem.
My daughter went to public middle school for 6th grade which she left in June of 2016 to go to a private school for kids with Dyslexia. She was there for 2 years and is back in public high school.
They claim that at the end of 6th grade her iPad and CCTV were never returned. Frankly neither my husband nor my daughter remember exactly how they were handed in – whether they were handed off directly or left in the school to be picked up – but we absolutely do not have them. In fact I had to buy her an iPad because EVS does not support kids in private school.
EVS has been a train wreck since the head, Dr. Gardner, retired some years ago. I would imagine that at the end of any school year EVS should have some sort of inventory process to confirm what they have and what is missing and contact parents or vision teachers if something is missing. It has been 2 1/2 years and we never heard about this. Why isn’t her vision teacher from 6th grade or the tech person responsible for collecting these devices? Why is Anna at fault?
Finally, I looked up the statute of limitations for larceny in NY. For anything under $1,000 it is 2 years. It seems that no matter what, they are too late to make a case out of it at this point and infringe on her ADA rights.
Any thoughts?
I am thinking of making a police report.

Thank you all in advance. Here is the email I got:




Regarding Alex's technology for school (CCTV and iPad), I got a response from my supervisor. I'm sorry, but the Technology Solutions Department that handles IEP-driven technology devices confirmed that the equipment initially lent to Alex was not returned. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do as the Vision Teacher at this point. Should you have further questions or concerns, I was asked to direct you to David Cohen from Technology Solutions.

No they are not coming after us. It was just an argument as to why they can't deprive her of her ADA rights under any senario.
My last email from them was that they were picking it up the last day of school at 11:30, and when she came home the last day of school she did not have it with her.
If we don't have it - it has to be somewhere.... The fact that they didn't realize that it was "missing" for 2 1/2 years is curious.

Good morning:

Do you have a signed receipt or other tangible evidence, such as a notation in a calendar or diary,   that could help establish that the equipment was returned, when,  and to whom? 

Luis

Finally, I looked up the statute of limitations for larceny in NY. For anything under $1,000 it is 2 years. It seems that no matter what, they are too late to make a case out of it at this point and infringe on her ADA rights.
Any thoughts?
I am thinking of making a police report.

Thank you all in advance. Here is the email I got:




Regarding Alex's technology for school (CCTV and iPad), I got a response from my supervisor. I'm sorry, but the Technology Solutions Department that handles IEP-driven technology devices confirmed that the equipment initially lent to Alex was not returned. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do as the Vision Teacher at this point. Should you have further questions or concerns, I was asked to direct you to David Cohen from Technology Solutions. His email is:

Good morning:

If it hasn't been done before, or at least recently, a seminar, or webinar  on   covering self-marketing   might draw a lot of interest and could prove very helpful.  Beginning a job search by requesting  a reduced workload   is likely to convey an unfavorable impression both of the candidate and the capacity of people who are blind in general.   As discussed at length during last weeks call, there are  a number of approaches and tools that can be employed to assist in competitively  performing visual tasks and managing a heavy workload.

Luis

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Reduced Billable Hour Requirement as an ADA accommodation

it depends on how you are measuring what is considered debilitating. If a sighted colleague measures extremely low on the intelligence, competence, and ethics scale, which are essential qualities of a good attorney, regardless of your blindness, this attorney will be less of a valued asset to the employer. Blindness is not even part of this equation. This is the reason why I found it misguided to redirect the employer's hiring interest to your blindness, as oppose to your intelligence, competence, and ethics.

Such an approach is  counterproductive. This is not reasonable accommodation but more of a self-inflicted degradation of one's professional standing.

I think there need to be a seminar of sort to help blind attorneys understand how to sell oneself effectively as a blind professional. We need that in this competitive environment. Not just at job interviews, but in other professional business interactions with clients and colleagues and partners.

I agree with Mark, except insofar as he says that it would be wrong to single out the limitation of blindness as being especially debilitating. I think it is a singularly debilitating limitation, and it and other limitations of mood, temprament and the like are not mutually exclusive. 
Nothing inoculates a blind lawyer from having these limitations over and above the limitation of blindness.

That caveat notwithstanding, I think that demanding this accommodation of relaxation of the billable hours requirement may not be prudent. Like I said on the call, a blind transactional lawyer has to find ways of being better than their colleagues in other areas, such as learning to read faster. 
Blindness gives rise to several limitations which cannot be wished away. But if one is able to make a good case for the proposition that one's knowledge of the law, articulation ability and communication and interpersonal skills are superior to those of one's competitors, the impact of the disability can be mitigated.

Best,
Rahul

Thank you, all, for your input. A conference call on self-marketing would be very helpful. On one hand, it is crucial that we present ourselves to prospective employers as positively as possible to maximize our chances of getting a job offer. On the other hand, though, we also need to find ways to bring our unique challenges to their attention without scaring them to avoid unnecessary friction when an access barrier, such as inaccessible workplace software, arises. Hopefully, we can identify some strategies that can help us strike this delicate balance. I look forward to contributing to this discussion, whenever it takes place.

Michal

Good morning:

If it hasn't been done before, or at least recently, a seminar, or webinar  on   covering self-marketing   might draw a lot of interest and could prove very helpful.  Beginning a job search by requesting  a reduced workload   is likely to convey an unfavorable impression both of the candidate and the capacity of people who are blind in general.   As discussed at length during last weeks call, there are  a number of approaches and tools that can be employed to assist in competitively  performing visual tasks and managing a heavy workload.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Reduced Billable Hour Requirement as an ADA accommodation

it depends on how you are measuring what is considered debilitating. If a sighted colleague measures extremely low on the intelligence, competence, and ethics scale, which are essential qualities of a good attorney, regardless of your blindness, this attorney will be less of a valued asset to the employer. Blindness is not even part of this equation. This is the reason why I found it misguided to redirect the employer's hiring interest to your blindness, as oppose to your intelligence, competence, and ethics.

Such an approach is  counterproductive. This is not reasonable accommodation but more of a self-inflicted degradation of one's professional standing.

I think there need to be a seminar of sort to help blind attorneys understand how to sell oneself effectively as a blind professional. We need that in this competitive environment. Not just at job interviews, but in other professional business interactions with clients and colleagues and partners.

I agree with Mark, except insofar as he says that it would be wrong to single out the limitation of blindness as being especially debilitating. I think it is a singularly debilitating limitation, and it and other limitations of mood, temprament and the like are not mutually exclusive. 
Nothing inoculates a blind lawyer from having these limitations over and above the limitation of blindness.

That caveat notwithstanding, I think that demanding this accommodation of relaxation of the billable hours requirement may not be prudent. Like I said on the call, a blind transactional lawyer has to find ways of being better than their colleagues in other areas, such as learning to read faster. 
Blindness gives rise to several limitations which cannot be wished away. But if one is able to make a good case for the proposition that one's knowledge of the law, articulation ability and communication and interpersonal skills are superior to those of one's competitors, the impact of the disability can be mitigated.

Best,
Rahul

Hello everyone, we will  definitely work to put together a call/seminar about this.  Given the right tools, attitude, and, as part of those tools, accessible technology, blindness does not inherently make a blind lawyer unable to produce at expected levels.  It's true that some tasks may take longer, but it is also true that we may be able to perform some tasks more quickly.  By using JAWS, I can read documents faster than my sighted colleagues, for example.  Any way, this  will be an interesting discussion.
Best to all,
Scott

Thank you, all, for your input. A conference call on self-marketing would be very helpful. On one hand, it is crucial that we present ourselves to prospective employers as positively as possible to maximize our chances of getting a job offer. On the other hand, though, we also need to find ways to bring our unique challenges to their attention without scaring them to avoid unnecessary friction when an access barrier, such as inaccessible workplace software, arises. Hopefully, we can identify some strategies that can help us strike this delicate balance. I look forward to contributing to this discussion, whenever it takes place.

As a blind paralegal I would find insulting that I would have a low4er billable hour requirement than my sighted colleagues. If there are unforeseen issues that arise in completing a task that I am assigned so be it and I might have to be required to work some evenings or week ends to get the job done. It is not a firm or client's responsibility to accommodate me with a lesser requirement that others would not have.

Colleagues:



I don't believe in the premise. There are times when a piece of technology is more cumbersome to use as a blind lawyer than it would be to use as a sighted lawyer. However, lawyers get paid for time and talent. Ultimately the talent of blind lawyers must be equivalent to that of sighted lawyers, and my observation is that this is true. All lawyers have limitations. Some of them are limitations of temperament, some of mood, some of background and training, some of interest, some of intelligence, and no doubt many others. To single out one limitation and make it more important than all the others is a mistake in assessment. I am not as good as certain of my colleagues in some areas of the law. However, I am much better than many of my colleagues in other areas. What do I have to sell? Intelligence, aggressiveness, a dogged persistence, a faith in my clients, and a measure of experience. I have no compunction whatever in charging people for these. If you want them, you get to pay for them. Some people get them for free, but they have to convince me that it's worth it to me. Sometimes I'm slow, but I'm good when I work. I am not selling accessibility. I am selling talent and commitment. I remember giving advice to a job applicant who put on a resume that the applicant had the best computer and was therefore worth hiring. I wondered out loud why the employer didn't just buy the computer and skip hiring the employee. People hire me because I have the brains and the talent to use them. This is what blind lawyers should sell.

Subject: [blindlaw] Reduced Billable Hour Requirement as an ADA accommodation



Hi Everyone,



During last week’s conference call on job interview tips for blind attorneys, I brought up the subject of meeting billable hour requirements as a blind attorney. I now have a follow-up question on that topic. Given the fact that we often need more time to complete some tasks than our sighted colleagues due to access barriers, assistive technology limitations, etc., and that it would be unethical to bill clients for this extra time, does requesting a reasonable reduction in the annual billable hour requirement (e.g., from 2,000 to 1,800 hours) qualify as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and/or similar disability rights laws? Is there any on-point authority? Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I want to do transactional work, most of which is still done on a billable hour basis.



Best,



Michal

Thank you for your response, Rod. When I said that it is singularly debilitating, I was adverting to things like: (a) more than 80% of documents that one is asked to work on being image-based PDFs which was the case at my law firm; (b) OCR output being inaccurate, such that you'd require sighted assistance to discern those data points; (c) inability to skim through a hard copy  file seamlessly like a sighted lawyer; (d) inaccessibility of legal databases for conducting research; (e) difficulty in navigating overcrowded courthouses for which the firm had to arrange for an office boy to help me. These are significant limitations, when cumulatively viewed, and operate alongside the challenges of getting to grips with a law firm life and other work-related pressures.

To your point about intelligence, competence and ethics, I think a good law firm would always hire those who possess a modicum of those qualities, so it is not as though anyone hired by a good law firm would lack these qualities in such a significant measure that they would debilitate them as much as the limitations flowing from blindness. That said, I agree with you that one should not ask that the standards for measuring productivity be lowered. Instead, one should rigorously work on cultivating one's intelligence, competence and ability to act ethically so that one reaches a stage where one is able to offset the limitations flowing from blindness, to the extent possible.

Best,
Rahul

If a sighted colleague measures extremely low on the intelligence, competence, and ethics scale, which are essential qualities of a good attorney, regardless of your blindness, this attorney will be less of a valued asset to the employer. Blindness is not even part of this equation. This is the reason why I found it misguided to redirect the employer's hiring interest to your blindness, as oppose to your intelligence, competence, and ethics.

I think it is a singularly debilitating limitation, and it and other limitations of mood, temprament and the like are not mutually exclusive. Nothing inoculates a blind lawyer from having these limitations over and above the limitation of blindness.
>

Like I said on the call, a blind transactional lawyer has to find ways of being better than their colleagues in other areas, such as learning to read faster. Blindness gives rise to several limitations which cannot be wished away. But if one is able to make a good case for the proposition that one's knowledge of the law, articulation ability and communication and interpersonal skills are superior to those of one's competitors, the impact of the disability can be mitigated.

Subject: [blindlaw] Missing technology items and more questions
Message-ID: <CAEjPGkighmyy7uyQhjKLTJgz8Jv=3xTYO5zeRyC+LJXC6m8yag@mail.gmail.com>

Anne Marie,

The question about meeting your daughter's technology needs is completely
independent of the question of whether you returned equipment two years
ago. Even if the school still had the equipment at hand, that equipment may
well be inappropriate for your daughter's current technology needs.

In your posts, you reference her ADA rights. Why is this? If she is
currently attending a public school, her IEP (individualized education
plan) should be the first document to look to for technology needs. If the
IEP does not mention technology, it is almost certainly out of compliance
with federal special education law (IDEA) and needs to be amended ASAP. The
IEP should detail your daughter's technology NEEDS. Federal law provides
that these needs must be met by the school district at no cost to the
parent or family. Federal law does not provide school districts an "out" of
they claim that equipment is missing--because the law is focused on the
student's educational NEEDS, not on school district budgets or inventory.
Any concerns about missing equipment must be handled outside the IEP
process. If the school refuses to provide needed technology, that is a
violation of your daughter's federally-protected rights under the IDEA, and
it would be the basis of an appeal by you (either due process or
mediation), including a claim for compensatory education based on the lack
of technology.

So many times, school officials want us to help solve their problems, and
they try to make us the "bad guys." We are not the bad guys. Public schools
have a duty to provide every student with an IEP a free appropriate public
education (FAPE). Schools cannot absolve themselves of these
responsibilities by throwing mud at parents.

There was a presentation or discussion of AIRA at the recent NABL annual
meeting.  Does anyone know if it was recorded?  As someone who was not
present for the discussion, I would enjoy hearing it as a primer for next
week's conference call.


Best,
Jay

Subject: [blindlaw] Using Dragon software
Message-ID: <e2112f3f-f37c-3fe9-cbf9-68674e9e1eae@gmail.com>

Hey guys, I am a blind law school student in Orlando, Florida. I will be 
graduating in May; however, I am still trying to study smarter and 
become more productive. I have Windows on my Mac, and I use Jaws. I am 
looking to purchase the Dragon software to help me write my papers in 
law school faster. I have tried to use Dragon in the past, but it did 
not work that well with my PC. However, now that I am using Windows and 
Jaws on my Mac, I think it might work better. What do you think guys? 
Can anyone tell me if this is a good idea? Has anyone had any success in 
using the Dragon software with Jaw?

Sorry I’m late to the party but I was cranking out billable hours this week. Haha. Anyway, I agree with others points but thoughts I’d raise a few others. 

First, there’s plenty of times I’m inefficient, blindness not usually being the reason. For example, sometimes I spend too much time researching a dead end or I make a mistake or have a technology failure (again, unrelated to blindness). In those cases, partners will write off time if they think inefficiency has caused my time to be “too much” for a particular project. This happens to all attorneys at my firm so I wouldn’t sweat it when blindness causes you to take longer. It’ll get adjusted down more than likely, or it won’t because you’ve compensated in other ways that made up for that inefficiency and your whole time will be billed. 

Second, obtaining 2,000 in big law isn’t hard if you’re a good attorney. The hard part is trying to maintain work life balance, meet deadlines, and produce high quality work consistently over long hours. I almost never look at my hours but constantly get praise from partners about how many I’m billing. As long as you are pleasant to work with, bring talent, and are willing to work your but off, 2000 is not the issue. 

So, bottom line, I wouldn’t broach the subject with potential employers. 

Best regards
Derek

These are significant limitations, when cumulatively viewed, and operate alongside the challenges of getting to grips with a law firm life and other work-related pressures.

That said, I agree with you that one should not ask that the standards for measuring productivity be lowered. Instead, one should rigorously work on cultivating one's intelligence, competence and ability to act ethically so that one reaches a stage where one is able to offset the limitations flowing from blindness, to the extent possible.

If a sighted colleague measures extremely low on the intelligence, competence, and ethics scale, which are essential qualities of a good attorney, regardless of your blindness, this attorney will be less of a valued asset to the employer. Blindness is not even part of this equation. This is the reason why I found it misguided to redirect the employer's hiring interest to your blindness, as oppose to your intelligence, competence, and ethics.

But if one is able to make a good case for the proposition that one's knowledge of the law, articulation ability and communication and interpersonal skills are superior to those of one's competitors, the impact of the disability can be mitigated.

However, lawyers get paid for time and talent. Ultimately the talent of blind lawyers must be equivalent to that of sighted lawyers, and my observation is that this is true. All lawyers have limitations. Some of them are limitations of temperament, some of mood, some of background and training, some of interest, some of intelligence, and no doubt many others. To single out one limitation and make it more important than all the others is a mistake in assessment. I am not as good as certain of my colleagues in some areas of the law. However, I am much better than many of my colleagues in other areas. What do I have to sell? Intelligence, aggressiveness, a dogged persistence, a faith in my clients, and a measure of experience. I have no compunction whatever in charging people for these. If you want them, you get to pay for them. Some people get them for free, but they have to convince me that it's worth it to me. Sometimes I'm slow, but I'm good when I work. I am not selling accessibility. I am selling talent and commitment. I remember giving advice to a job applicant who put on a resume that the applicant had the best computer and was therefore worth hiring. I wondered out loud why the employer didn't just buy the computer and skip hiring the employee. People hire me because I have the brains and the talent to use them. This is what blind lawyers should sell.

>>> During last week’s conference call on job interview tips for blind attorneys, I brought up the subject of meeting billable hour requirements as a blind attorney. I now have a follow-up question on that topic. Given the fact that we often need more time to complete some tasks than our sighted colleagues due to access barriers, assistive technology limitations, etc., and that it would be unethical to bill clients for this extra time, does requesting a reasonable reduction in the annual billable hour requirement (e.g., from 2,000 to 1,800 hours) qualify as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and/or similar disability rights laws? Is there any on-point authority? Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I want to do transactional work, most of which is still done on a billable hour basis.

Hello Ann,

This may not be legal advice, but I had a similar situation in gr.9 I returned the loaner laptop at the end of the school year, and then the school claimed I hadn't handed it in. In the end they did nothing.

If they aren't coming after you, why would you file a police report? My suggestion is to let sleeping dogs lie, and unless they are charging you with something to continue on with life.

All the best,
Ben

No they are not coming after us. It was just an argument as to why they can't deprive her of her ADA rights under any senario.
My last email from them was that they were picking it up the last day of school at 11:30, and when she came home the last day of school she did not have it with her.
If we don't have it - it has to be somewhere.... The fact that they didn't realize that it was "missing" for 2 1/2 years is curious.

Subject: [blindlaw] Denial of technology to a visually impaired high schooler

Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem.
My daughter went to public middle school for 6th grade which she left in June of 2016 to go to a private school for kids with Dyslexia. She was there for 2 years and is back in public high school.
They claim that at the end of 6th grade her iPad and CCTV were never returned. Frankly neither my husband nor my daughter remember exactly how they were handed in ? whether they were handed off directly or left in the school to be picked up ? but we absolutely do not have them. In fact I had to buy her an iPad because EVS does not support kids in private school.
EVS has been a train wreck since the head, Dr. Gardner, retired some years ago. I would imagine that at the end of any school year EVS should have some sort of inventory process to confirm what they have and what is missing and contact parents or vision teachers if something is missing. It has been 2 1/2 years and we never heard about this. Why isn?t her vision teacher from 6th grade or the tech person responsible for collecting these devices? Why is Anna at fault?
Finally, I looked up the statute of limitations for larceny in NY. For anything under $1,000 it is 2 years. It seems that no matter what, they are too late to make a case out of it at this point and infringe on her ADA rights.
Any thoughts?
I am thinking of making a police report.

Thank you all in advance. Here is the email I got:




Regarding Alex's technology for school (CCTV and iPad), I got a response from my supervisor. I'm sorry, but the Technology Solutions Department that handles IEP-driven technology devices confirmed that the equipment initially lent to Alex was not returned. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do as the Vision Teacher at this point. Should you have further questions or concerns, I was asked to direct you to David Cohen from Technology Solutions.

If you want to use Dragon, you may want to check out JDictate or JSAY from Hartgen Consultency. These are scripts that help integrate JAWS and Dragon functionality. JDictate is only for dictation and can use any version of Dragon while JSAY I believe requires a professional version and works with all of Dragon’s functionality including special Dragon commands to perform JAWS-related actions. These products aren’t cheap, but then again, neither are the higher tier versions of Dragon. The open source Dictation Bridge project is also something you might want to look into for basic dictation, but Dragon and the Hartgen products are probably what you’ll want for a professional workflow. Those are just my two cents. Good luck and have a great weekend.

Respectfully,
Aser Tolentino, Esq.

I would say that the Jsay is a must to integrate the two. I did that for a semester, but I did not find that dragon helped me write things any faster. In fact, I found going through and correcting the document was time consuming, and ultimately I can compose things faster with touch typing.

I would stick with JAWS.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

US House of Representatives Passes Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act Treaty Now Awaits Presidential Action

Washington, DC (September 25, 2018): The United States House of Representatives has passed the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act (S. 2559), which makes modest changes to copyright law that will bring the United States into compliance with the terms of the Marrakesh Treaty. The Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification of the treaty and passed the implementing legislation on June 28.

"For almost a decade now, the National Federation of the Blind, our partners, and other advocates have worked to bring the Marrakesh Treaty into being and into force," said Mark A. Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. "Today we applaud the United States House of Representatives for its passage of the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act. We now urge President Trump to sign this implementing legislation, and to order the State Department to deposit the instrument of ratification with the World Intellectual Property Organization as soon as practicable. We are closer than ever to the day when blind Americans will have greater access to the world's knowledge, in many of its original languages, than we have ever had in human history."

I agree with Ben. When I was an undergrad, I studied in the former
Yugoslavia including the Serbo-Croatian language. The blindness government
agency in Zagreb, where I was based, got me a braille copy of the grammar
text used in our language studies. Having braille really helped me in the
learning of the language and I was not one with a particular facility with
languages or experience learning them before that. I might have used that
study experience to pursue a different career path but it seemed to me that
getting access to the source materials I would need would prove a difficult
barrier to overcome. The process has, I think, become a bit easier since
that time, but the ability to share documents, create braille or other
formats and the like really will help people who pursue language studies and
other high-level scholarship along with many more throughout America and the
world.
