Thank you everyone for your responses to my email. I have forwarded
everything on to this student and I'll continue to be in touch with her.

Hi Doug,
Thank you for your response and research. I am unsure as to the version that
I downloaded, but it was retrieved directly from the IBM website as of a
couple weeks ago. After installation, I was able to successfully notice an
input window and an output window. I have not searched further into the
program itself, but I too saw various levels of accessibility noted online
prior to enrolling in my required statistics course for this semester. There
is a social sciences list through the national Federation of the blind, but
I do not have the subscription address on hand at the moment. I believe it
may be: social-sciences-subscribe at nfbnet.org.
When inquiring of that list previously, I was told that SPS is usable, but
that of course will have its quirks, ETC. The part that was noted to me the
most as far as it being inaccessible was the output. I was advised to
utilize XL or Word, whichever I preferred, to read the output from SPSS.
When looking through the program files, I was encouraged to find a Jaws
default file automatically installed.
I hope this information is at some level helpful, and I look forward to
hearing more from you and others who have experience with this software.

Best wishes, Miranda

this. I did Google "spss accessibility" (without the quotes) and turned up
several references to accessibility features in various SPSS versions,
including 24, which is presumably the next major release before the version
25 being discussed here.
