Due to an unforseen building emergency, the MLK library may be closed on
Saturday, February 7th, so the first meeting of the Job Club that may be
especially helpful to people with disabilities will be postponed until
Saturday, February 21st and held at the same time, 1pm to 4pm in room 215 at
the MLK library, but on February 21st.  The same presenters will be in
attendance so the details below still apply.

 

Reggie Pratt works with the Inspirational 3 Support Group which holds a
weekly conference call on the topic of support for people who are blind or
have low vision .  The call takes place from 7pm to 9pm every Tuesday night.
One of the regular topics is peer to peer training in Android accessibility.
The conference call number is 559-726-1300 Access Code 813025# .  The I3
Support group is interested in working with the library to distribute mobile
accessibility training to adaptive technology users in the DC/MD/VA area.

 

Loren Mikola works with The Partnership on Employment & Accessible
Technology (PEAT), an initiative promoting the employment, retention, and
career advancement of people with disabilities through the development,
adoption, and promotion of accessible technology. PEAT is funded by the U.S.
Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (link is
external) and is managed by the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive
Technology Society of North America (RESNA). Guided by a consortium of
policy and technology leaders, PEAT is the only entity of its kind that
brings together employers, technology providers, thought leaders, and
technology users around the intersecting topics of accessible technology and
employment.

 

The itinerary will go as follows:

 

1:00 PM -- Introductions and Announcements

1:15 PM -- First Presenter

1:30 PM -- Questions

1:45 PM -- Second Presenter

2:00 PM -- Questions

2:15 PM - 4:00 PM -- Break out groups and one-on-one work at the Adaptive
Technology Workstations

 

Thanks,

Patrick
