[Job-Discussions] Reason NIB is starting Cisco course using low vision

[Dick Davis]

Hi Jordan,

You know better than anyone. This has been an open issue between the NFB
and NIB since you first raised it.  I have asked them to keep me posted on
their accessibility developments, and of course, I will keep our leaders
appraised. Will take them at their word for now.

Dick

Suggest watching this closely since NIB does not care about those of us who
use Jaws evidence by repeatedly being told that they have been working on
accessibility for Jaws with other things.  It does not take over seven
years to do so.

Dear List Members,



Rikki Howe of NIB explained why they are starting their Cisco course with
low vision and then moving to screen readers:



“We are starting with low vision 1st since this is a new program for cisco
working with BVI  it gives us time to figure out the virtual capabilities
for the hands on portion of the training utilizing JAWS.”



Makes sense,

Dick Davis
