Subject: [blindLaw] NCBE Issues
Message-ID: <CACYGDrCv0J8ehLB0B4y8cOQhT5=H4+R1SRfWhXmeAR6aLX4Eug@mail.gmail.com>

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of any law firms that might want to
take on a case against the NCBE.

I have been experiencing difficulties with them regarding disability
accommodations for my vision disability for over a year now. Not only have
they failed to accommodate, they have discriminated against me, retaliated
against me, slandered me and harassed me.

My case is similar to the two prior cases involving visually disabled
candidates that were litigated against NCBE where the NCBE lost.

The American Bar Association has informed me that they have hundreds of
complaints from disabled candidates now involving refusal of accommodations
from the NCBE and similar complaints from law schools across the nation.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Happy to talk more if it would be helpful. I have done a few years with the
government although I was at a lower level than you will be up. It was
certainly not trying to do travel in renting cars and things.



They will ultimately get you whatever technology you need. But it will take
a hot minute. At least if they’re still using the system where you have to
go and meet with people at the Pentagon so they can get your recommendation
and then get the security checked on the program that your agency has
probably not seen before and then buy it.

One thing I found frustrating and I hope that they improve is that it feels
sometimes like it’s always nothing. Like you could request a full-time
reader which seems like a horrible waste of money for most of us. But there
are some tasks that are just very difficult to do and you feel bad asking
another employee or someone else’s secretary to help you read something or
fill out a form. But sometimes you have to do that.  Sometimes you just
need a little of this help. Not enough to need an entire full-time
employee. I heard the department of transportation basically had a pool of
employees to help with the needs of disabled employees so you could just
use people for a little bit. Sounds like a good system. I hope that they do
that.

Hi Michael,
You might want to join the Blind-gov listserve, as we are all government employees and prospective employees on that list.

I currently work for a Federal agency, am an attorney, and have traveled extensively for this and previous Federal jobs.  I use a human reader sometimes but not always for travel, but I definitely do when I have to travel to far-flung places where the only way to get there is to rent a car and drive.  My agency has contractors who serve this purpose, and I happen to manage that program as well.  We have a pool of about 20 Workplace Task Assistants (WTA) who serve in various functions including as readers, drivers, note-takers, people who push individuals in wheelchairs, people who lift, grip, grasp, carry, mouse, keyboard for those who cannot, etc.  It's a shared resource for some employees and a 1-to-1 for others, depending on the need.

We also have a Federal contract with Aira and use them for visual interpreting when another option is not available, e.g. airport travel, outside of business hours, in an exogency.

Happy to chat if you'd like to do so, but you might want to talk to some folks on the other list / other division I mentioned.

Thanks,
Ronza

Oh, and our very own Chris Stewart would also be A+. He’s in private practice and works for the Access Board, so he’s a real expert on this stuff.   His cell is (502) 457-1757 and he’s free anytime. We were just texting about your case.

I may be able to refer you somewhere but as the division president, I think it would be helpful for me to understand more specifics. Let me know if you are interested in a conversation.

Thanks Ronza and Caleb,

My agency has been very helpful and proactive. They reached out before I even started to make sure they could have everything cleared before I arrived, they haven't said no to any of my requests and even had some suggestions based on what other employees had needed in the past.

Thanks also for letting me know about the other list.

Best,

Labor Department Urged To Curtail Subminimum Wage Program
By Michelle Diament
Disability Scoop
May 15, 2023

Disability advocacy groups are calling on the federal government to stop issuing any new certificates authorizing employers to pay people with disabilities less than minimum wage.
Under a law dating back to the 1930s, employers can obtain special certificates from the U.S. Department of Labor allowing them to pay workers with disabilities less than the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour. As a result, some individuals earn just pennies per hour.
In a letter to acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su this month, a dozen disability organizations say the time is now for a moratorium on the so-called Section 14(c) certificates. They cite a recent Government Accountability Office report showing that the number of workers with disabilities nationally earning subminimum wage dropped from 296,000 to 122,000 between 2010 and 2019 and they indicate that data since that time shows a continued slide.
"These facts signify that this program is on the decline and, given that reality, we can find no compelling reason for DOL to continue to issue new certificates," reads the letter from the National Down Syndrome Congress, the National Disability Rights Network, the Autism Society of America, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and others who are part of a coalition called the Collaboration to Promote Self-Determination. "We believe the end of the 14(c) program is on the horizon and implementing a moratorium on new certificates is a concrete step DOL can take without the need for congressional action to further the goal of economic self-sufficiency as established by the (Americans with Disabilities Act) and prevent further harm to individuals with disabilities in the waning days of this program."
There has been a push in recent years toward competitive integrated employment and away from paying what's known as submimimum wage. A 2014 federal law imposed strict limits on the arrangement and the advocates note in their letter that 14 states have already passed legislation to ban the practice of paying those with disabilities less than minimum wage.
A bipartisan bill proposed in Congress called the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act would phase out subminimum wage across the country.
Edwin Nieves, a spokesperson for the Labor Department, indicated that the agency received the advocates' letter and will respond, but declined to comment further.

Subject: [blindLaw] Problem with accessing LinkedIn Alternative Text
 Description (Alt-Text) feature on the phone
Message-ID: <CAPT-RkyT84rHmE019L2_Hp38wx41neViUEeReFA0mp2rn5ohdQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

1. I received a very curious piece of information from a (sighted) fellow
LinkedIn user, who is committed to making her personal brand and content
accessible to the blind and visually impaired.
2. This user uses the LinkedIn app mainly on her phone to post content on
LinkedIn.
3. When attaching images with her posts, her custom has been to either (a)
use the built-in “alt-text” feature to embed a description of the image
within the image itself; or (b) sometimes just type a description of the
image in the body of her post, which even non-screen reader users (i.e.,
the sighted) can see.
4. Lately, she has found that she is unable to use the “alt-text” feature
of the LinkedIn phone app, but seems to be able to use it on LinkedIn when
using it on a laptop/desktop. This means that, if she wishes for her
content to remain accessible to the blind and visually impaired, her only
option is to insert a description into the body of the post’s text, which
the sighted can see, and which, of course, would be superfluous for them.
5. Does anybody know of any changes that LinkedIn has made recently to
their app which would make usage of “alt-text” harder?
6. If so, are any readers of this email aware of any
alternatives/workarounds?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or advice that you can provide.

Regards,

Abhishek Dhol

Hi All,
Have any of you had experiences using Concordance and any sense of whether it is accessible with Jaws? My firm uses this e-discovery platform, and although they are very flexible with workarounds if it does not work, it would still be good to know what I am up against. Thanks!

Hi All,

 My assigning attorney at my internship asked me if he ran a redline
whether I would be able to access the information or not. I have no
experience with this. What I am thinking of doing is perhaps seeing if
there is some sort of JAWS setting I may activate that would detect the
redline. Does anyone have any guidance on this?


Thank you!

Call me.  There are different flavors of redlines. I assume a word redline would be more accessible than a PDF redline, and I also assume a redline with track changes would be more accessible than a pure redline, but let’s discuss unless you hear from someone who has more direct experience.

Hi everyone,

I use JAWS with redlines on the daily. Derek is correct that Word redlines are generally more accessible than PDF redlines. In my experience, though, redlines that are run with software like Workshare Compare or other software that can produce a “non-track-changes” redline tend to be easier for me to follow. JAWS has gotten somewhat better at handling track-changes over the years, but I feel like using the other style of redline is easier. Of course, your mileage may vary.

One thing that is crucial for me in accessing redlines is to use a JAWS sound scheme that will announce attributes, font, and color. In the JAWS settings center, choose the version of Word that corresponds with what you are using. The setting you want is “Speech and Sound Schemes.” I have mine set to “Attributes, Font and Color.” With this sound scheme active, JAWS will announce insertions as “blue double underline”, deletions as “red strike through,” etc. I actually find that this sound scheme is very helpful in allowing me to understand attributes of any Word document, so I use it as my default.

It takes a bit of getting used to, and sometimes I still need to compare snippets of the “original” and the “modified” document directly, if there are many changes that are close together. But I have gotten pretty good at redlines prepared in this format.

I’m happy to try to answer any questions.

Call me.  There are different flavors of redlines. I assume a word redline would be more accessible than a PDF redline, and I also assume a redline with track changes would be more accessible than a pure redline, but let’s discuss unless you hear from someone who has more direct experience.

**RECEIVED FROM EXTERNAL SENDER - USE CAUTION**

Hi All,

 My assigning attorney at my internship asked me if he ran a redline whether I would be able to access the information or not. I have no experience with this. What I am thinking of doing is perhaps seeing if there is some sort of JAWS setting I may activate that would detect the redline. Does anyone have any guidance on this?


Thank you!

Syed

Even text analyzer will be a good option if we search only for color 
specific changes to read redlines efficiently.

Subject: [blindLaw] Inserting Track-Changes
Message-ID: <092b01d98a98$df03a380$9d0aea80$@gmail.com>

Hi, All. The recent thread about working with documents that have been
redlined caused me to think of this question: What methods do you use when
you're the one redlining or inserting proposed changes into a document that
was drafted by junior staff or interns? I've tried reviewing and revising
docs using track-changes but the result was not great- I felt that I
introduced more problems into the document than I fixed. As a work around, I
use the "add comment" feature to revise text or propose changes instead of
wrestling with track-changes. I supplement this by adding proposed text
right into the document bracketed by **. While these methods make sense to
me, they have been confusing for some sighted people who are used to
track-changes. Just curious what the rest of you do and if I could steal any
ideas- or if you are successfully using track-changes to revise the work of
others.

 

Thanks,

Jen

If you have a redlining software like litera or changepro, you can make changes like normal, then create a redline that inserts track changes that can be accepted or rejected. We often do this for clients rather than working directly in track changes since they are messy, even for sighted folks.

Two other techniques that may help, depending on the situation: 

You can accept all changes, edit a clean document with track changes off, and then use the compare option in Word to generate a track-changes document. This works if you are the sole reviewer. 

You can also set the view to show no markup. This will (mostly) present a clean document to you that you can edit as normal, but your edits will show up as tracked changes. 

The keystrokes to access these may depend on your version of Office. In Office 365, I access the compare option with alt+r followed by m, and then I believe I press enter at that point. For markup, the sequence is alt+r, t, d, and then you can cycle through the available options until you find "no markup." 

And yeah, it seems track-changes can be vexing for just about anyone. Good luck.

Hi everyone,

I use JAWS with redlines on the daily. Derek is correct that Word redlines are generally more accessible than PDF redlines. In my experience, though, redlines that are run with software like Workshare Compare or other software that can produce a “non-track-changes” redline tend to be easier for me to follow. JAWS has gotten somewhat better at handling track-changes over the years, but I feel like using the other style of redline is easier. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Good evening,
I am in a state planning attorney in Maryland, and for many years, I have used current template forms to assist in the estate planning and drafting.
I'm curious if there are any blind estate planning attorneys out there who use and estate planning software package, which is accessible as well as updated and accurate.
Thank you very much,

Did you already press insert+o for OCR, then D for document? Is that
