[BlindMath] basic statistics class using Jaws and excel

[Godfrey, Jonathan]

Hello,

Unfortunately my experience says the accessibility of plug-ins is fickle at best. I think you will need to experiment with the tools being used by the class but my guess is that the outcome is more likely to be negative than positive.

Even tools that have been labelled as accessible by others do not meet my standards for accessibility.

And in advance of the most likely follow up question, I only ever recommend R and SAS as statistical software that is accessible. Other options range from "next to useless" up to "you can use it if you want a fight" and I do not offer opinions on software that has less than 10,000 users worldwide.

Best of luck,
Jonathan
Senior Lecturer in Statistics

Hello,
I am in need of support on whether excel statistical plug ins are accessible with JAWs. Thanks-
