[humanser] Accessible Technology Delay inInternship and Emplyment

[Serena Cucco]

Hi all,

I'm a bit surprised at how uncooperative many of your agencies are
being/have been about installing adaptive technology, especially since
Jaws doesn't cost them any money.  In both my previous employment and
field placements, all the agencies had no issue with my installing
Jaws on their computers.  I wonder if they're simply more aware of the
law than yours.
