[Mdpobc] help with Apple Computer

[Kyle Richmond]

thanks very much for all this info.  this is extremely helpful!  especially the macfortheblind.com.  Aaron specifically wants to get help from someone who knows how to explain how to use it from a blind perspective, etc.  so this is great.

  Jill,

   

  No problem. In writing my previous note I forgot a few resources online which may also help Aaron. These are Web sites maintained by blind Mac users for blind Mac users. They are www.applevis.com and www.macfortheblind.com. Both of these have many useful resources on how to use the Mac and other Apple products as a blind person. While I believe this is paid, Mac for the Blind also has personal training in Mac usage which can be done online or over the phone. I am not sure how much they charge for this service, but prices should be listed on the Web site. I'm sorry I can't be of any further help to Aaron on this question, as I do not currently use a Mac. However, there are many blind people who do and many resources out there for learning about its use with the VoiceOver screen reader.

   

  Chris

    Jill,

     

    He might want to contact my friend Josh Gregory. He is very knowledgeable about Macs and could likely teach Aaron how to use one. Josh is also a college student and could serve as a friend to Aaron. His email is joshkart12 at gmail.com.

     

    Hope this helps,

     

    Chris

    My college-aged son, Aaron Richmond, wants to switch from his PC with Jaws to an Apple computer. Does anyone know any blind adults who have experience using Apple computers and/or can teach how to use a MAC/Apple computer?

    Thanks

    Jill Richmond
