[nabs-l] My Spanish Lab

[Ashley Bramlett]

Misty,
I ran into that problem with the same company; at least I think it was 
pearson.
I remember trying it out and finding out that buttons were unlabeled.
If I were you, I'd ask the professor for an alternative assignment. Then I'd 
write a letter to the company and suggest that products be accessible.

You could also try and find a reader to read you the screen for this part.

Hi,
Yes, this is the main problem. Some of the flash content is not accessible
and the buttons are unlabeled, and also a lot of the practice and
assignments require you to match the vocabulary word or audio pronunciation
to the picture of it. Another issue with assignments is if there is a button
for an audio, it does not appear at all on the page so is not read. I am not
sure if it is something graphical or not.
