[Diabetes-talk] Accessibility questions, help needed

[Steve and Shannon Cook]

Hi All,

Below are some links to web pages for WW.  When my wife and I joined here in
SC.  We asked for the material in an accessible format.  They gave us the
CD's that we were able to listen to on our computer or our portable digital
player.  It was the up to date material.  

Here is the subscribe info for a Blind WW group you can subscribe to 

blind_weight_watchers-subscribe at yahoogroups.com

Be sure and put subscribe in the subject line.

Here is a link to a on line points calculator

Here is a link to an on line list of restaurants with there points value

http://www.exercise4weightloss.com/weight-watchers-points.html

The above websites are accessible using jaws 13 on a windows 7 64 bit
system.

I hope this helps you!

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Accessibility questions, help needed

good evening,
i don't know if you guys remember, but a couple of weeks ago I had asked the
question here about Weight Watchers and whether or not their website and
online tools were accessible for someone using a screen reader. As a follow
up to that question, I am very upset to learn that most of site I'd need to
use is not at all accessible. it doesn't respond to screen reader commands
and you can't navigate the thing because it's all flash and graphics. of
course the sign up page reads beautifully. i brought this problem to our
local Weight Watchers people and asked if I could have the material in
another format like braille, but they will not give me a straight answer for
this and the only thing they've given me is a pocket guide.
do I have any recourse here? saying I feel cheated is pretty mild; I'm very
upset that I'm not getting the same opportunities as other participants
though I'm paying the same money, and while everyone else has multiple
options for doing tasks, I don't even have one.
if anyone can offer me somewhere to go for help with this, I'd appreciate
any suggestions. if I'm just plain SOL  
AND THERE IS no recourse here, then thanks for letting me vent.
