[nabs-l] Internships

[kcj21]

Hi Sofia,
    I was lucky to get an internship with a local publishing company and as they worked from a small home office, they let me work from home and would send me manuscripts to edit. This allowed me to use my own assistive technology. I'm not sure where you wish to intern or work, but perhaps you could also work from home. If that is not an option , I suggest that you bring your screen reader on a thumb drive.

I hope that helps,
Kaley

Hello

Has anyone had an internship or short-term job (such as a summer job)
that required extensive computer use (such as browsing the internet,
using Word and other basic programs)? How did this work out in terms
of using assistive technology such as screen readers like Jaws? Did
you arrange to use your own computer, use the demo mode of a software
or carry a USB version of the software?

I'm just wondering what experiences anyone has had using assistive
technology when the job is only short-term since adjusting company
computers with software may not be practical.

Thanks!
