[BlindMath] Accounting resources for JAWS users?

[Mary Popish-Baker]

Hi all,

I'm working with a couple accounting students who are both JAWS users, and
I was wondering if anybody has ideas for communities of practice or
resources for blind accountants entering the field. The students are in a
class where they are exploring technology related to the field of
accounting, and they are learning about Excel and Microsoft Power BI.
Anybody have any suggestions or resources for training or
career development ideas for JAWS users who are learning these platforms?

I appreciate any suggestions anyone may have. Thanks so much!

Mary
