[blparent] Questions on Children's Computer Use

[Eileen]

Can blind parents struggling to help their sighted children use  these
websites, participate in the survey? Roll overs or not I've found
precious few sites that allow me to use the games though my sighted son
was able to figure them out pretty quickly.

Subject: [blparent] Questions on Children's Computer Use


Hi,

My name is Thea Eaton and I just joined the mailing list. We are an
interactive learning company in Houston, Texas, and we provide services
to educational publishers as well as produce our own children's
software. We make interactive educational materials such as Flash games
and websites, accessible for screen reader users, or for children who do
not use screen readers yet.

We are looking for parents of visually impaired children who would be
willing to help us, by sharing with us some of your child's computer
experiences. This survey has several questions that we have on
children's computer use, when your child started to use screen readers
or other assistive technologies, and other questions on computer access.
Among other things, we are worried that educational content for
preschool children who might not use screen readers yet, might not be
fully accessible when only programmed for screen reader access, for
example, and not have audio rollovers on buttons. The results of this
survey will help us make the right implementations for different age
groups. Are there any parents out there, with children of the ages 3-18
that use the computer, with or without an assistive technology, that
would be willing to help us?

Thank you for your time,
