[humanser] future outlook for adaptive tech in HS fields

[Cheryl Wade]

Fortunately, you will have time to investigate the various software 
packages clinics use before you have to start using it. Don't hesitate 
to ask your state blindness agency for consultation as soon as you know 
what kind of software you'll be using. Let your screen reader support 
folks know if the problem cannot be cleared up by scripting. Maybe 
you'll be fortunate enough for someone to come and visit you and look at 
perhaps other computer issues such as processor speed, memory, etc.


Wish I'd known all these things 15 months ago.

However, both here and on the NFB jobs list, I have seen disturbing mention of our adaptive tech not keeping up with our needs for treatment management and record-keeping. Am I correct in this impression, and what do you think the outlook is, gauging from present experience and other trends? Should I be looking at eating-disorder careers that don’t involve use of this kind of software, and if so, what areas should I consider? Thanks!
