[humanser] Question regarding paperwork

Wed Jun 29 23:52:41 UTC 2016

Hello,
	RSA has offices in every state for services for the blind and
visually impaired. I am attaching a site list of providers in Wisconson by
county. I hope this is helpful.

Rebecca thanks for asking that question. I don't think Wisconsin has the
agency they're referring to here. We have no suffered agency for the blind.
The only one we do have works with seniors.

word and The OCR software of your choice Kurzweil or openbook. It also
depends on the agency you are working for because they might be using an
Electronic Medical Records program, which as JD stated, you could have a
computer programmer from the state agency for the blind come and make JAWS
work with that particular program. If they are not using electronic records
then perhaps you could adapt or recreate there forms in word making it more
accessible for you.
