Ancil Torres of the Torres foundation will be one of the experts invited to participate in the JAWS and MAGic demos and discussion, and Eric Wright of the Internal Revenue Service is one of the experts invited to participate in the discussion and demos of Dragon Naturally Speaking.

Saturday Technology Training Sessions are held on the third Saturday of each month, from 1pm to 4pm in room 215, Adaptive Services Division of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, and focus on the topic of adaptive technology as it relates to employment for people with disabilities.  The library is located at 901 G Street, NW Washington DC 20001, diagonally across the street from the 9th street exit of the Gallery Place Chinatown Metro stop, or two blocks from the 11th and G exit of Metro Center.  There is no public parking at the MLK Library.

The Adaptive Technology Program provides adaptive technology workstations, training opportunities and events for library customers who need to use them in order to access library programs and services including online databases and the internet in general.  The workstations are located in the Adaptive Services Division, Room 215 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.  Customers can call ahead and reserve two-hour sessions at either the computer workstations or at the CCTVs.

Please let us know immediately if you need accommodation including American Sign Language interpretation.  The library's accommodation statement is here: http://www.dclibrary.org/node/2095
