[Mdpobc] help with Apple Computer

[Chris Nusbaum]

You're very welcome. Mac for the Blind is great. There are also numerous
podcasts online from Web sites such as Mac for the Blind, AppleVis, Vision
Australia and others regarding the usage of the Mac from a blindness
perspective. Just do a little online digging and you should strike some
gold. <Smile!>

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.

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
