NEW! The Hadley School for the Blind Launches Three New Access Technology

Courses



We are pleased to announce the launch of three new, structured and practical

online courses designed to improve user access technology skills for users of

screen readers. Each course consists of two lessons.



“Screen Readers: Listening Skills” trains users to increase their speed of

listening to a screen reader. The course assists in being able to listen and

comprehend a screen reader at 300 words or more a minute. It also teaches

techniques to enable a user to listen to a screen reader and listen to another

person on the phone at the same time.  This skill lends itself to success in

most work places. [1]For more information or to register, follow this link.



“Screen Readers: Web Browsing” is about navigating Web sites.  This course has

lessons that provide tips and advice on the best methods to navigate very

accessible Web sites as well as those that present more accessibility

challenges.  The Internet is “an information super highway," and an ability to

navigate it efficiently and skillfully is crucial to educational and workplace

success. [2]For more information or to register, follow this link.



“Screen Readers: Formatting Word Documents” is aimed at sharpening the user's

skill in Microsoft Word 2007. This course covers editing text, adjusting fonts,

using headings, bullets and much more while using a screen reader. Determining

editing and formatting problems with a screen reader can be challenging, but

mastering the techniques taught in this course can lead to confident creation

of appropriate-looking documents for work or school.[3] For more information or
