[HumanSer] Accessible technology wish list

[Ericka]

AIRA would be able to help... right now it is safe for most privacy issues like banking and website purchases etc. but it certainly should be capital HIPPA compliant. That would make a lot of problems easier especially with the technology standpoint.

A braille watch can be checked surreptitiously. I would also request at least a braille device, such as the braillenote touch plus, or similar devices from other companies. I use mine with the speech turned off, except when I want it to talk. This might help you take notes.

I’m getting ready to have a worksite evaluation for my assistive technology needs for my new job as a therapist with a group private practice. The most obvious things to me are a new laptop, JAWS and scripting for our electronic medical record system  if necessary, making sure that my braille display is functioning optimally. I’m also trying to decide between requesting a smart braille watch or a traditional braille watch for tracking time. I’m considering requesting a Braille embosser and software so that I can produce my own handouts and forms for myself to follow. I’m also requesting that VR assist in purchasing a full EMDR kit so that I have the equipment needed to use this treatment in an accessible way. I’m curious to know what others are using or would love to use as a part of their workflow and practice.
