[nabs-l] Presentation

[Justin Williams]

The braille method would work also.  However, you'll have to figure out a way to  control the powerpoitn presentation.  Remember, you are presenting for your fellow professionals, so you got to find a comfortable and fluid way ot execute.  Use braille if you can, or if you need to, but you've got to find a way to be able to control your powerpoint.  
I'm only giving you what I did which worked for me.

Kelsey,
Your best bet is going to be to write your notes out in hardcopy Braille and rehearse so that you know when the slides switch. You could use a slate and stylus or a Perkins Brailler if you have one. This is about the only way to accomplish what you want without a way to hook up a Braille display to the computer. You don’t want to be tied to headphones during your presentation, so hardcopy Braille will be the best way.
Hope this helps,
Aleeha
