[humanser] Assistive technology?

[Sandy]

Lindsay,

I have always used my Pac Mate BX and it has been helpful to use while 
meeting with clients.  I would have an assessment form and read parts with 
the display while with clients, then fill out the form.  I do not do 
billing, but my progress notes after each session allow me to be paid. 
Because I am not licensed to practice independently, the actual billing is 
not my problem.

Right now the software my agency recently bought does not work well with 
JAWS, plus they are using forms developed by a company in Massachusetts to 
standardize paperwork, such as initial assessments, treatment plans, 
progress notes, etc. The standards forms are giving we blind folks problems, 
and the developers have gone about two years promising they would make the 
forms accessible.
