[Md-sligo] Your computer question

[Debbie Brown]

There is a screen access program called VoiceOver which comes with the Mac. 
There are a small but growing number of blind and low-vision people using 
them.  The staff at the International Braille and Technology Center have 
some expertise, and they might be able to direct you to training materials.

Thanks, Lori, for getting back with us.  Youa re welcome to join us at any 
time, no matter what the condition of your vision.

Debbie Brown
