Hi All,



Do you have any tips regarding discussions with firms pertaining to what I
will need from them to be a successful blind summer associate? I know I
need JAWS etc., but due to my lack of work experience, I don’t know what
set of procedures I should have in place. For example, with school, I know
I need all my books in an electronic format and so on, but I don’t have
work accommodations figured out in the same way due to my lack of
experience. Are there consulting firms that educate employers on how to
best accommodate blind employees or that can test firm tools prior to the
summer?



Thank you so much for any guidance in this matter!



Gratefully,

Syed
