[nabs-l] accessible Statistics software program?

[Arielle Silverman]

It sounds like newer versions of SPSS are accessible with JAWS. I used
SPSS 15 with JAWS 8.0 and wasn't able to access the data editor, but I
was able to work around this by editing data in Excel and importing it
into SPSS just before analysis.

I now use SAS for all my data analysis. It is fully accessible, but it
is command-driven, so you need to be taught what the commands are.
It's pretty easy once you understand the general command structure. If
anyone is interested in learning to use SAS, write me off-list.

Good luck!
Arielle
