[Job-Discussions] FW: Issues regarding accessibility

[Jordan Gallacher]

I would be too to tell you the truth.  I just hope that things will be more
blind friendly than the Defense Acquisition University stuff was for the CMS
training program.  I kept having to switch web browsers depending on what I
was trying to do,and Jaws was definitely not behaving as I would have
expected.

And that may be what happens here too. I don't know, nor do I pretend to
know all the struggles that have occurred dealing with them. Just trying to
keep an open mind. But actions will speak louder than any email, so thanks
for the perspective. I hope you're wrong in this case though, as I'd be
interested.
