Hi all,

     I hope your college semester is off to a good start. I started my first semester of college, and I’m really enjoying it. However, I have a question about Spanish. I would like to be able to read Spanish braille on my BrailleNote touch while I’m in class, but don’t want to change the settings to Spanish because I want to make sure I can change it back to English easily. Has anyone found an easy way to switch between the two languages? Thank you.

Mikayla

Hi

Yes, create a language profile for Spanish, then switch between them by using enter plus  L.

Hi Mikayla, 

Glad to hear that you're enjoying your first semester of college! 

If the braille files you are reading with the Braille Note Touch are BRF files, you don't have to switch between languages. It will all show up as whatever language it was written in. 

Cheers!
Emmie

Hi there, if you do an o cord for the options menu, then go to the language profiles, typically you can press p for primary and s for secondary, once you click on there, it should let you switch to Spanish, then it will let you pick the type of braille you want, either grade one or two, literary braille, or computer braille, and the voice. I would test out what works better in braille, and then I would see which works well that teachers can read. Yes, pressing enter with l usually takes you from one profile to the other. Here is my contact information. I do not mind working with you on the BrailleNote Touch, I have used it a whole lot and have gone through enough to where I can help you out. Here is my email and contact information you and anyone on this list serve can use.

Message-ID: <605FEF0F-2079-4507-BC88-F453AAC55293@gmail.com>

Hi,
Hope everyone is having a nice start to the school year.
I wanted to ask if anyone has taken an animation course, and how accessible it was?
Since I'm a senior in college, I'm thinking ahead of what I want to take next semester. One of the potential English classes is a combined writing and animation course, taught by an English professor and an animation prfessor. Depending on what other classes become available, I might not take this course, but I just wanted to know others' experiences. The professor said there would be quite a bit of visual elements involved, but said we could talk about it and figure something out.  
Thanks,
Vejas

Hi All.

I would like to learn Nemeth and Music Braille,  but I’m not sure what resources are available. I called Hadley, and unfortunately, they do not offer courses in Nemeth or Music Braille anymore. Does anyone know how I can learn them?

Best,
Jonathan

Hi,
I know Nemeth, but would also like to learn Braille music.

If I were you, I’d do a google search and see what you find.

Thanks,

Jessica

Hi Jonathan,

I called the Braille Institute and the Library of Congress, and taught
myself Braille music that way. The library should still have some
Braille music books that you can use to teach yourself. I leanred
Nemeth through my K-12 schooling, but I'm sure there are some coures
available. Search around online for places you can call for resources.
Or if you decide to call the Library of Congress, ask if they have
stuff. Thanks!

Best,
Cricket

Hello,
I am a Braille Music Teacher and I teach via Skype. I'm sure there are
other Braille Music Teachers on the list. Hadley has a Nemoth course
which is free. If you are taking one of their math courses, you could
ask for the book of Nemoth code which I think is also free.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.

What screen reader are you using? Have you tried using it with Narrator? You
can also call Microsoft's Accessibility Desk or even Audible.

I use JAWS 2019. The buttons don't seem to be labeled, and there's an option under Help for keyboard shortcuts, and those don't read with JAWS.

You might want to give Narrator a try. You should also write to Vispero's
technical support to let them know of your interest.

Message-ID: <CAAdv8frHAwBD12-hoW58JZ_1toEV_MTLqTzFU=n9M2+cFoA=yA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has ever had any trouble selecting "enable
editing", on a PowerPoint file downloaded from an internet source? The
usual methods I would use are pressing f6, or control+s to enable
saving, but these don't seem to work. I get an error message when
opening such PowerPoint files, which disappears if someone clicks
"enable editing." It's been a year or so since I've been in school,
and I am totally blanking on how I used to solve this problem. This
didn't happen with previous computers.

Also, I've noticed I basically get just a blank screen when I open
PDFs. These are typical PDFs with text, not images. Is there any way I
can read these without converting them to a word doc? Again, I don't
remember this happening with previous laptops. I am currently using
Jaws 17, but could download a newer version.

These are probably pretty basic questions, but any help would be appreciated.
Danielle

Regarding pdf's, does the doc show up as empty or as if it is an image? I've had this problem when text was scanned into a pdf instead of being typed. I usually just convert it to Word using a free site.

Hey Danielle, yes I have had some of the same issues. As Nina said, are the pdf files images or just text files? If it is not letting you enable editing, you may have to convert it to a word document, and there are a few websites you can do that on, I am not remembering them right now since I switched to using the Mac and I haven’t used windows all that much from the early spring. Yes, sometimes pdf files will show up as blank. I would check which browser you have set as your default browser, particularly Microsoft edge is not a good browser at all, especially when viewing pdf docs. Also, if you don’t have Acrobat Reader DC, I would download it because it makes it a little bit easier to view pdf docs, especially since you can set it as the default pdf viewer. I would also try downloading NVDA since it is free, and see if it will read them to you.

I have had this problem with PowerPoint and pdf. If Adobe Reader DC doesn't work, then see if you can get Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 11 or higher-it is not free). There is an Accessibility tool that will make nearly every pdf readable and writable, even some that are images.

Hey Danielle, yes I have had some of the same issues. As Nina said, are the pdf files images or just text files? If it is not letting you enable editing, you may have to convert it to a word document, and there are a few websites you can do that on, I am not remembering them right now since I switched to using the Mac and I haven’t used windows all that much from the early spring. Yes, sometimes pdf files will show up as blank. I would check which browser you have set as your default browser, particularly Microsoft edge is not a good browser at all, especially when viewing pdf docs. Also, if you don’t have Acrobat Reader DC, I would download it because it makes it a little bit easier to view pdf docs, especially since you can set it as the default pdf viewer. I would also try downloading NVDA since it is free, and see if it will read them to you.

Oh, ok, I am all excited now. I have some professors who upload pdf files as images and do not add text to them, and I would love to have something that could convert them to words. Acrobat pro you said? How much does it cost? And do you have to pay a monthly fee or do you just have to pay a one-time fee to purchase it and then you can do whatever you need to with it? Thanks.

Acrobat reader DC works very well here with Jaws 2019. If for some reason you’re not able to read the document you can always use ctrl+shift+5 to change accessibility reading options. As for documents that have scanned images inside Jaws is able to apply OCR to them and will ask automatically if it detects there isn’t any text. I’m pretty sure NVDA should be able to do that as well.

Hi, it is just as accessible as a website can get. You will be able to click on all the links and access all the information you need, plus you will be able to look at the examples that are put after the photos of course, as to how you should cite stuff. I’ve used it before and I have had no issues at all. It’s highly recommended and credible to use when it comes to putting credibility together.

Hey guys,
I wonder if any of you could be kind enough to take the time and recommend a good, sturdy, waterproof iPhone 7 case. I have spilled liquid on my phone twice thus far and fixing that had cost me a bit over $300. 
Hope to hear from you :)

As far as I’m aware, iPhone 7 and beyond have ingress protection IP rating, IP-67 and IP-68 for XS and XS Max. You could completely submerge your phone up to 30 minutes or a meter. If you’re still looking for the protection I know Otterbox has their Defender line of cases, and there is a brand called Lifeproof and Griffin which also makes heavy duty iPhone cases.

Hope this helps!

Seyoon

i would suggest working with your school career services. 
On your own, you could browse Indeed.com, Idealist.org, and LinkedIn. If you have a list of places you are interested in working, you could directly go on to those organizations' websites to look for job openings. Finally, network with people in your community and field. 
Best, 
Miso

See if your school is involved in the workforce recruitment program.  You
can get a federal job out of that.
Find out if the place you did you internship is hiring, or will giv eyou a
recommendation.

Check your center for independent living for any possible jobs, or the
ability to volunteer.

Check other disability agencies, both for and nonprofit for the chance of
employment or to volunteer.


Thanks,

Justin

I would recommend Otterbox for any model. They are pretty sturdy, I've dropped my phone from on top of the fridge with no issue.

There is no one thing you  can do to find a job.  First, looking is 
full-time work. As people have suggested, work through your school, 
if they have placement services.

Tell everyone you are looking for a job, and what kind. I mean 
everyone. You will most likely find out about jobs through others. 
Join our jobs listserv, http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/jobs-_nfbnet.org

There may be professional publications in your field that list jobs, 
subscribe. There may be lists of forums in your field that list jobs 
-- join and read. Make contact with professionals in your field, do 
informational interviews, volunteer etc. Volunteering is a good way 
to work your way into an organization. That is how I got my first job 
-- back in 1977. I volunteered for an entity, for several months, and 
eventually they offered me part-time, then full-time work. It was as 
a news writer, at a commercial all-news radio station, so you can do 
these things with commercial, for-profit entities.

Good luck.

Message-ID: <CAPL27qDnpWPaye2QgC9G745TK=KCest2efwTnVW+7g8VWRQFTQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I haven’t mailed in for quite some time, but I’ve always found so many
helpful people when I have. Hopefully I can find someone who relates
to my current scenario and can provide some guidance. Right now, I’m
in a bit of a complex situation. I’ve been looking for a job for the
past 4 months, and I may finally be at a point where I’m going to get
an offer. It’s an incredible position in a city I’m in love with. I
went in for the interview last Wednesday, and the supervisor contacted
me on Friday to ask some follow-up questions. They mainly consisted of
whether I felt safe with the clients. I told her I did. She’s also
concerned about accessibility when it comes to me using their
electronic health record to input client information.

I’ll be a clinical social worker, and this is a therapist position, so
using the EHR is going to be a big part of it. Their record isn’t
mainstream. They developed it within the agency, so the supervisor has
been trying to contact their IT people to see if they know anything
about the usability with screen reading software. She called me again
today and told me that she’s still trying to find answers, and she
doesn’t want to extend an official offer until she knows something. I
absolutely do not want this to fall through due to that unknown
factor. I’ve tried contacting my counselor at Division of Services for
the Blind. I feel like I’m on shaky ground and would rather have
guidance and someone in my corner before proceeding. Unfortunately, my
counselor has been on leave since the end of May, and the person who
is covering my case has not answered my calls or returned voicemails.

This is a very time sensitive situation, and it’s something I want to
be on top of. The accessibility may be an obstacle, but I’ve been able
to problem-solve in the past to get around it. Has anyone else been in
this situation? Any suggestions, advice, or guidance would be greatly
appreciated, especially from people who may be in a health-related
field and have encountered electronic records. The one at my graduate
internship was inaccessible, but I was able to do assessments and
notes via word document. The secretary would upload the documents. I
could present this, but that would be putting additional work on
another employee and it’s not ideal, especially since this is an
actual employment position. I’m determined to make it this last step
and land this job!

Warm regards,

Kiana Harlan

even working some as a volunteer there until a job comes open.

> Following the first week of our three-week Congressional support blitz, we gained two cosponsors for the Access Technology Affordability Act in the House. While this is good, let’s try to do even better this week when we call our senators and representative about the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act.
>  
> Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
> House – H.R. 873 – Sponsored by Bobby Scott (D-VA-3) – 52 cosponsors
> Senate – S. 260 – Sponsored by Bob Casey (D-PA) – 7 cosponsors
> These bills would phase out Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act over a six-year period, at which point the provision would officially be sunset.
>  
> Please call or email your representative and two senators and urge them to cosponsor the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act if they have not already done so. A complete list of current cosponsors is included at the end of this email.
>  
> When you call or email, you might say something like the following:
> "Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a constituent of [your senator/representative]. I live in [city, state]. I am calling to urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor [S. 260 for Senate calls/H.R. 873 for House calls], the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act. This legislation phases out Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act over a six-year period, at which point the provision would officially be sunset.
> Thanks."
> You can contact your member of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard and asking for the office in question. The number is 202-224-3121. If you email your representative or senators, please copy John Pare at jpare at nfb.org. Your calls and emails do make a difference.

Hello,
My name is Alba Milla and I am a senior at Kean University in Union,
NJ. I am majoring in Therapeutic  Recreation and am running into some
problems in being placed into an Internship Program in January 2020
which is required for my graduation. I am being told that there are
limited facilities that I may be placed at due to being blind. I was
told to apply to facilities with blind people. I live in Middlesex
County, NJ and have been reaching out to places with no positive
results. If you are blind and have experienced a similar problem and
have a solution would you kindly share with me. albi.milla at gmail.com
 Thank you so much!

Alba Milla

Hi. What a cool field of study! I am writing into offer you encouragement and assure you that you are under no obligation to limit yourself to only facilities for the blind. I wish I could say this is the last time you will encounter this level of discrimination, but we both know that is probably not the case. Hang in there, contact as many people as you can, and never hesitate to tell people about yourself and what you are doing. You never know when someone might have a great lead for you. The people who are in charge of helping to place you in an internship  have no understanding of the amount of problem-solving that most of us are capable of, and it is frustrating that they can limit you so much based on their own ignorance. May I ask what types of facilities the students with eyesight are placed in? I am not very familiar with this field. It might help me to come up with some ideas.

 It might also be of benefit to you to contact the New Jersey student
division president and the New Jersey affiliate president. They may have
some suggestions as they know the area better than most. If you would like
to get ahold of either of them, feel free to reach out to me off list, and
I can provide their contact information.
Best of luck!

Alba,This sounds pretty ridiculous to me.  It would be like them telling me that I could have only done my student teaching in a school for blind people.  I'm not sure who is telling you this...but don't allow them to limit you.  I would focus on where you are interested in working possibly after graduation.  If you're dead set on doing what they are asking, a nursing home might be a good fit.  You will often find quite a few clients in there with poor vision.  If it were me though, I'd do something I'm really interested in.  As an example, prior to my teaching career, i worked at a therapeutic horseback riding facility that worked with the disabled and veterans.  I had a love for both animals, including horses, and then also the teaching and therapeutic recreation aspect of it.  Best of luck to you!Nicole

Hi, I go to a therapeutic riding center each week. I am blind myself, and I taught my instructors on how to handle somebody who is blind, so you might be better off possibly talking with somebody from the place where I do my therapeutic horseback riding. I will see if any of the staff are interested in speaking with you on possibly being able to doing internship. If you want, you can get a hold of me anytime tomorrow afternoon via the contact information below when my signature.

The Magic of Student Seminars in the National Federation of the Blind

By Justin Salisbury

 

>From the editor:

            Justin Salisbury currently serves as a board member of the National Association of Blind Students. He lives in Hawaii, where he pursues advocacy in all shapes and forms. He finds huge amounts of energy and satisfaction from bringing students together around the country. Below, he writes of his experience with regional student seminars, and the positive impact they can have on blind students everywhere.

 

In mid-August, I had the honor of attending the 2019 NABS Pacific Regional Student Seminar. We partnered with the Enchanted Hills Camp, owned and operated by the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. I was tasked with leading the committee of students who planned the seminar, and we brought students from all over the west coast and some landlocked western states. We were joined by NFB of California President Tim Elder, Lighthouse CEO Bryan Bashin, Martin Becerra-Miranda and Jen Spears from the Colorado Center for the Blind, and many other great mentors and role models. We planned it months in advance, advertised, found financial support, and built many connections for a long time to come. We had dozens of students in attendance, and it was appropriately powerful for the name of the Enchanted Hills Camp. We had speakers, role-playing, and spatially interactive activities. We went hiking, had bonfires, an did a ropes course. It was a wonderful time, and I heard great reviews from students who attended. This is something that we should be proud of as a movement, but it didn’t start there. It was grown over the years, and I am blessed to have been able to grow with it. 

My first student seminar with the National Federation of the Blind was in 2010 in North Carolina. I participated because it was expected of me as an officer in the North Carolina Association of Blind Students, but I did not know what to expect at a seminar. The leaders ahead of me did most of the work in planning the seminar, and I was asked to co-lead three discussion groups: one on orientation and mobility on high school and college campuses, one on testing and academic accommodations and access, and one on getting involved on a high school or college campus. Working with my fellow student division leaders, I had the opportunity to facilitate discussions about blindness, to empower people to tell their stories, and to learn through the experiences and solutions of others. It was the first time I remember doing that, and I now do it almost every day. 

The following year, I approached the same seminar as the President of the North Carolina Association of Blind Students. One of the goals I brought to that seminar was to expand our home-cooked technology fair, which had been operated by generous volunteers from the NFB of North Carolina, to a full-blown exhibit hall. We had about 30 vendors as I remember it, and we hosted close to 100 students. We had the understanding of the importance of building something big, but we were still learning about what it was that we were building. We brought blind students together, and, like the year before, we had unwavering support from our affiliate president, Gary Ray. These two ingredients are critical. We had teams for advertising, fundraising, and other tasks related to the seminar.

We built a full directory of all disability-related contacts at every institution of higher education in our state, which we continued to use afterward.

The state vocational rehabilitation agency rented vans before dawn and literally brought students to our seminar. 

When it came to lunch time, our vice president and his team had a beautiful spread of wraps, cookies, etc. I felt like it would be most appropriate for me to wait for everyone else and then go to the back of the line, so I did. Someone else came up behind me. It was George Wurtzel, who was attending the seminar as a representative of BLIND, Inc., a training center run by the National Federation of the Blind in Minneapolis. He noted to me that, if I ever came to visit, I should come when one of the students was serving a meal for 40 people. That stopped me dead in my tracks. He explained that students at BLIND, Inc., as a type of capstone project for the home management class, would cook and serve a multi-course meal for 40 people. Until that point, my experiences at training centers were about being fed by others, not preparing food for others. It was a completely different way of thinking about training, as well as thinking about blindness. I could not have articulated this at the time, but what I was realizing was that we were not only the passive recipients of the generosity of others; we could be the producers and contributors who could influence the world around us in everyday ways like serving food to a large group. Jim Omvig famously called this “giving back.” It is a necessary part of being a first-class member of society. 

As the years have passed since that seminar, I cannot remember how many seminars I have attended. Some have been single-state, and others have been multi-state.

It has been an honor to bear witness to the transformative experiences in many blind students’ lives across the country. When we bring blind people together, the magic is automatic. We need to have a strong connection to our national movement to help students feel that connection at the individual level. 

Sometimes, the primary role of a seminar in a student’s life is the opportunity to be around other blind students. If I did not have that already, it could be that for me. There have been times, even within the past month, where I have been down about something and needed to talk to a friend who would understand.

A half hour spent talking to a fellow NABS board member did not necessarily create a solution, but it did help me truly understand that I was not alone.

Sometimes, that makes all the difference in the world. Other times, this can be helpful because then it allows us to explore other parts of our identities because we are no longer finding our identities consumed with the blindness part of it. When we are around other blind people, then I can be the American Indian and Ashkenazi Jew. Then, I can be the guy who ran scored points in a conference championship track meet in high school. Then, I can be the guy who pledged a fraternity. I want the opportunity to celebrate those other parts of who I am, and being around other blind people helps me do that.

The skills that are useful in planning a state convention are similar to planning a student seminar. We still need a venue, food, attendees, advertising, sponsorships and other forms of revenue, an agenda, and the list continues. Years later, when I had the privilege of planning a state convention with my state president there to mentor me, I was already familiar with every part of what I needed to do. 

When I head into a student seminar, I don’t know what every student will gain from it. I try to make sure it is as multi-dimensional as possible so that students can gain from it in every possible way. The list is literally infinite. Some students need to learn about resources, some need to make friends, some need to learn a skill, and some need to learn about what is possible for blind people. 

Every time we do student seminars, we get better at them. We know more about how to help empower blind people. I no longer think about our velocity as a movement; I think about our acceleration. It is not our job to maintain velocity; it is our job to maintain acceleration. In the future, someone will likely say that we must maintain the next derivative, which mathematicians call the “jerk.” 

A student seminar is a microcosm of the magic that is the National Federation of the Blind. Every seminar is an opportunity for students to learn and grow, whatever their current level. Every task that must be executed is training for us to put together other programs within the Federation. Every situation is a learning opportunity. I encourage all students to make every effort to attend student seminars and discover what magic will happen for you.

Hi All,
I hope you have had a great start to the school year.
I updated to iOS 13 from iOS 12 on my iPhone 8. I'm experiencing some VoiceOver issues which, although I can mostly work around them, would have made me reconsider updating, so I would highly recommend, for these of you who haven't yet updated, not to do so.
First, you can no longer read PDF files on the Apple Books app. I used to love doing this because it allowed me to navigate files easily, search for page numbers, and only show one page at a time. The phone will just freeze at the text. (Note that books from the Apple store will still work). I'm fortunate to have a Braillenote which will allow me to access the relatively large textbook I need, but I would still, in hindsight, not have updated yet.
The second thing (although this is much more minor) is that you can't log in to Amazon any longer with the iPhone. The password field goes blank after you type it in, so that the only two ways to log in would be with a computer or with sighted assistance.
I just thought I'd let you all know.
Vejas

Hi, have you tried using Knfbreader? That’s what you should be using! 
I know it’s great and wonderful and supposedly cold or use upstate one 
else uses but we have worked tirelessly in this organization to try and 
and make it work for all of us and the blind as community at large. I 
found this application to be outstanding. Just a suggestion.

If your initial version of wire was 13 some problems, from what I tested 
obviously issues are actually not that large. Also baron mind that the 
operating system world get and update on Tuesday. So if you can get 
through Monday with some of these work arounds, whenever you get a free 
moment, more like about 20 minutes to half an hour or so, you can update 
your phone and hopefully things will be substantially better. That’s 
all I can say at this time.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.
Check anyone wish to ask me questions off List, there are two ways 
reaching me. The first is calling a relay number for the deaf, that 
number is 661-246-3110.

I'm a bit baffled by this email. I can't understand parts of it, but the 
concerning issue for me here is that you're pushing KNFB reader. No one 
should be using it; it's fallen behind, and there are many many better 
alternatives. Just because we push a program and an app in an 
organization shouldn't mean that people are stuck using it if it doesn't 
compete with other applications.

As a blind person, I have many tools in my independence toolbox, many of 
which are on my phone; Voicedream scanner, Seeing AI, etc. I will use 
whatever works best for me to allow me to be productive and work well, 
and being beholden to a single app which has fallen far behind in this 
space because an organization which I belong to pushes it is not my idea 
of productive nor independent.

I misspoke in my email; please forgive me, I hadn't had coffee.
My point was that no one should be using it because they're beholden to 
an organization, which I said a second time in the second paragraph. Use 
what works for you. If that's KNFB, great. IF that's another app, you 
shouldn't be shamed for using that app.

Subject: [NABS-L] How do I best deal with making graphs and using scientific
 instruments in my environmental science class?
Message-ID: <3A22C085-D249-4A5B-B94D-B0F9C724FB1B@gmail.com>

Hi all! 
I know I don’t post very often in less I run into something major. I ran into something major today for my environmental science class. I wasn’t effected during the first class period itself. When I met up with my science teacher after class during my lunch break, some questions came up that I had some idea on how to answer but was missing critical information. How do I go about making graphs in an environmental science class? According to my science teacher, he informed me that I have to actually turn scientific data and promptly turn it intto a graph. Since I’m blind, there are some major accessability problems around any graph items that come up in any form. I told him to use tables instead of graphs when sending me information electronically. But it still doesn’t answer the question of how to make them. I’m not just talking about the graphs that most see in math classes. I’m talking about things like bar graphs, pie graphs, exponential graphs and simular. How do you all navigate this problem? Also, the other query came up with scientific equipment. One example is microscopes. I said that my in class assistant might be able to look into one for me and give me the information that’s acquired only via looking through a microscope. There might be other tools that I don’t know about, however, it still leaves yet another accessability gap with us blind science students. So, how do I navigate scientific measuring and data colecting instruments? Do I only use my in class aid or will I have to acquire additional tools? Can I use an in class assistant until I can get such tools? The earlier I know this information, the better off I’ll be. Thank you!!!

Thank you for reading this email! Also, please note that I have eighth grade spelling. I'm well known for spelling mistakes. Ironicly, writing is one of my gifts.

Hello All,

I have a question about reading: is there any way to “speed read” an audiobook other than making the reading speed faster? I know sighted individuals can scan paragraphs, look for highlighted words, speed read, etc. Is there any way to get through an audiobook or other file and still retain the important information?

Best,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathon.
	Besides increasing the speech rate, I personally have not found an effective way to skim or speed read, especially if the material is a textbook. You can of course find certain words or phrases or navigate by headings, but other than that, I have found that skimming just isn't an option when using audio formats.
	I hope someone else has found a solution. __
	Have a great Tuesday!

Hi Jonathon,

There's a way to do this with JAWS by using the skim reading tool. The 
way this works is you define the elements you wish to navigate to such 
as highlighted text, bold, underline, text with different 
background/foreground colours with the tool and it then allows you to 
jump to the specific text attributes that you specified. It also 
supports navigation by the first line/sentence of each paragraph. This 
works in web and MS Word documents.

See

https://support.freedomscientific.com/Training/Surfs-Up/Skim_Reading.htm

for more info.


Best,

Ka

Subject: [NABS-L] What is the best independent living faculty?
Message-ID: <A8541E4E-8868-4DA8-869D-648EC6AF7F14@gmail.com>

Hello,
I’m a student in California and I am looking to go to a residential independent living skills program because I need better blindness skills before I can really do well in college. I know that in california there are Hatlen and The orientation Center for the blind, but I have heard really great things about the colorado center for the blind and from what I know it seems like the best option. I’m wondering what others experiences are and if anyone has any advice to help DOR send me to the right place.
Thanks for any information.

If you are open to traveling for your internship open up your search to facilities outside of that area.

I would highly recommend the Louisiana Center for the Blind. That is where I got my training from, and I have to say that attending The Louisiana Center for the Blind changed my life! All of the staff are truly dedicated to changing what it means to be blind.

Yes I would recommend Colorado Center for the blind. Going to the Louisiana center for the blind helped me before starting college classes.

Hi!
I graduated from the Colorado Center for the blind about a year ago. If you have any questions about what it was like for me at the center, please feel free to ask either here or directly. If I don’t have an answer for you, I can direct you to someone who will.

Best,
Danielle (she/her/hers)

Hi, I went to the Louisiana Center for the summer program, in 2012, and the adult program I did at BLIND Inc in 2014. All three centers will do the same thing as far as teaching you the skills you need through structured discovery training. All of us apparently have pulled you in all three directions, but in the end it is your choice as to which center you would like to go to depending on whether you want to train in a big city or a small town. But where ever you go, the skills are transferable back to where ever you have lived or are planning to live.

Greetings:
I went to the Louisiana Center for the Blind and earned an awesome skill set
that I have been using throughout college. I think what you might want to do
before having your mind set on one center is to talk to all three directors
of the training centers. This way you can see if one has more of what you
are looking for than the other. They are all good and the staff I know will
be more than willing to answer any questions. 
I hope everything goes well for you. 
Best,
Mary Church

Hello All,

I have a question about reading: is there any way to ?speed read? an
audiobook other than making the reading speed faster? I know sighted
individuals can scan paragraphs, look for highlighted words, speed read,
etc. Is there any way to get through an audiobook or other file and still
retain the important information?

Best,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathon.
	Besides increasing the speech rate, I personally have not found an
effective way to skim or speed read, especially if the material is a
textbook. You can of course find certain words or phrases or navigate by
headings, but other than that, I have found that skimming just isn't an
option when using audio formats.
	I hope someone else has found a solution. __
	Have a great Tuesday!

Hi Jonathon,

There's a way to do this with JAWS by using the skim reading tool. The way
this works is you define the elements you wish to navigate to such as
highlighted text, bold, underline, text with different background/foreground
colours with the tool and it then allows you to jump to the specific text
attributes that you specified. It also supports navigation by the first
line/sentence of each paragraph. This works in web and MS Word documents.

See

https://support.freedomscientific.com/Training/Surfs-Up/Skim_Reading.htm

for more info.


Best,

Ka

Hello,
I?m a student in California and I am looking to go to a residential
independent living skills program because I need better blindness skills
before I can really do well in college. I know that in california there are
Hatlen and The orientation Center for the blind, but I have heard really
great things about the colorado center for the blind and from what I know it
seems like the best option. I?m wondering what others experiences are and if
anyone has any advice to help DOR send me to the right place.
Thanks for any information.

If you are open to traveling for your internship open up your search to
facilities outside of that area.

I would highly recommend the Louisiana Center for the Blind. That is where I
got my training from, and I have to say that attending The Louisiana Center
for the Blind changed my life! All of the staff are truly dedicated to
changing what it means to be blind.

Yes I would recommend Colorado Center for the blind. Going to the Louisiana
center for the blind helped me before starting college classes.

Hi!
I graduated from the Colorado Center for the blind about a year ago. If you
have any questions about what it was like for me at the center, please feel
free to ask either here or directly. If I don?t have an answer for you, I
can direct you to someone who will.

Hi, I went to the Louisiana Center for the summer program, in 2012, and the
adult program I did at BLIND Inc in 2014. All three centers will do the same
thing as far as teaching you the skills you need through structured
discovery training. All of us apparently have pulled you in all three
directions, but in the end it is your choice as to which center you would
like to go to depending on whether you want to train in a big city or a
small town. But where ever you go, the skills are transferable back to where
ever you have lived or are planning to live.

Dear Federation Family:

We are officially in the third and final week of our Congressional support blitz. The bill we’re focusing on this week is our newest piece of legislation, and it is critical that we build support for it. This week’s bill is the Greater Access and Independence through Nonvisual Access Technology (GAIN) Act. There is no Senate companion bill, so we are just talking to the one person who represents us in the US House of Representatives. Of course, feel free to contact more Members from your state if you like.

Greater Access and Independence through Nonvisual Access Technology (GAIN) Act
House – H.R. 3929 – Sponsored by Jan Schakowsky (D-IL-9) – 4 cosponsors

This legislation permits the Access Board to establish nonvisual accessibility guidelines for manufacturers, conduct training on these guidelines, and give authority to appropriate agencies to enforce these guidelines pertaining to home use medical devices, exercise equipment, and home appliances.

Please call or email your representative and urge them to cosponsor the Greater Access and Independence through Nonvisual Access Technology (GAIN) Act if they have not already done so. A complete list of current cosponsors is included at the end of this email.

When you call or email, you might say something like the following:
"Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a constituent of [your representative]. I live in [city, state]. I am calling to urge [your representative] to cosponsor H.R. 3929, the Greater Access and Independence through Nonvisual Access Technology (GAIN) Act. This legislation permits the Access Board to establish nonvisual accessibility guidelines for manufacturers, conduct training on these guidelines, and give authority to appropriate agencies to enforce these guidelines pertaining to home use medical devices, exercise equipment, and home appliances.
Thank you."

You can contact your member of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard and asking for the office in question. The number is 202-224-3121. If you email your representative, please copy John Pare at jpare at nfb.org<mailto:jpare at nfb.org>. Your calls and emails do make a difference.

Greater Access and Independence through Nonvisual Access Technology (GAIN) Act H.R. 3929
Rep. Davis, Susan A. [D-CA-53]
Rep. DeSaulnier, Mark [D-CA-11]
Rep. Blunt Rochester, Lisa [D-DE-At Large]
Rep. Cooper, Jim [D-TN-5]

If you have any questions, please reach out to me or (even better) John Pare and the Government Affairs team at the headquarters of the National Federation of the Blind. Our national office is ALWAYS happy to hear from and help members.

Aloha,

Justin

Message-ID: <CACPRCE6oauoRo6xdbF0Jy=BzqRqqd9K9Lpaq0L6NODg-r=1fMw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear NABS Listserv Members,
The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE) is proud to
announce the release of our latest publication of the A World Awaits You
(AWAY) magazine on disability and international exchange. The latest
edition focuses on internationalization efforts at community college
campuses and how CCs can welcome international students with disabilities
while sending more U.S. SWDs abroad. Areas covered will include:
• Why 3 students with disabilities from Sweden, Pakistan and Hong Kong
opted to enroll in U.S. community colleges
• How three U.S. community college students with disabilities seized
opportunities through their school to study abroad in Ireland, Singapore,
and the Czech Republic
• Advice for success from community college staff and leadership
• Tips from study abroad alumni for raising funds
• Resources from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs, including the Gilman Scholarship and EducationUSA
advising centers.
Read the magazine online.
<https://www.miusa.org/resource/booksjournals/awaycc>

Highlights
The Road to Independence <https://www.miusa.org/resource/story/anna>
For Anna Ringstrom, a woman with Down syndrome from Sweden, studying at a
U.S. community college is not just about academics, but also transitioning
to adulthood.
Building Confidence in Ireland <https://www.miusa.org/resource/story/chynna>
With a desire to venture beyond Wisconsin, Chynna McNair set out with
fellow students and sign language interpreters to explore the beauty of the
Emerald Isle.
Finding Community <https://www.miusa.org/resource/story/abdul>
Rooming with a Mormon roommate and coaching the local soccer team in Utah
granted Global UGRAD student Abdul Salam Mehsood opportunities for sharing
his culture.
Directing Access in the Czech Republic
<https://www.miusa.org/resource/story/shea>
Despite the language barrier, Shea Megale found creative methods to
communicate with Czech students, actors and her personal assistant while
shooting a student film abroad.

Subject: [NABS-L] Accessable spell checkers for all platforms including
 gramarly for writing class:
Message-ID: <76AEAF25-EA7E-4B5A-994B-63E53A8212FA@gmail.com>

Hi ll! 
This year, I’m taking Writing 121 which is one of the uper average writing courses in my community college. As part of the class, we are suposed to use Gramarly as a tool. I have not experienced it being very accessible on the mobile platform. Does anyone know if it’s just me or is it inaccessible across the board? Also, does anyone know if it’s inaccessible on a laptop vertion? On my phone, I use an iphone SE with Voice Over and the last vertion of IOS 12. On my laptop computer, I use a Dell laptop with Windows 10, the home vertion. I also use both JAWS and NVDA. So far, I have not been impressed with the mobile vertion because I found several key buttons to be inaccessible. I could see the button but not get it to work. Other buttons were both unworkable and were not labeled. Has anyone else gotten this? Also, has anyone had any luck with avoiding the same problems on their laptop computers? Also, does anyone know of a good accessable spell checker for an iphone? I have not found one so far. Even my sighted writing teacher agreed with me that the spell checker on the IOS platform isn’t great.

Good morning, Kendra,

You don't wanna wrap  a little?

I am interested to get to know you. Hopefully, 
you don't find these repeted reachings-out which, 
of course,  remain unanswered, at all creepy or 
anything. In fact, I met a childhood friend, Tieu 
whom was adopted from Vietnam when we attended 
Camp Bloomfield together  in 1995. We were 
friends during the preteen  and teenaged years, 
spending summer and holiday breaks together as 
well as corresponding but come adulthood, we no 
longer have contact and have scattered around the country..A

You can create your own by researching the parts to it if you don’t know them already and put one together yourself, or you can use IWorks, Microsoft Word, or pages which have templates for resumes if you need a template to start.

Hello,
I want to get a new braille display to use with my phone. I have the braille sense U2  32 sell from hims. I want to get a 16 cell display for my phone. What do you guys recommend?
My braille speed is slow and I hardly use my braille display that I currently have because it is super heavy so I am not sure if my counselor will pay for it.

What are you wanting to do with a new braille display? Would you use it for math and science or more as a display to read and opperate with your smart phone?

I think that you should get the Actileno which when you activate the feature that’s well known for it, you can read without having to advance lines back and forth, and it is 16 cell. The feature I’m talking about that a lot of people are raving about because it’s so useful is the fact that when you go to the end of the display, it detects that your fingers are at the end and it automatically advances and it does it at the speed that you read, it self adjusts.

And Kendra, to answer your question she is a psychology and social work major. She has a bachelors in psychology and social work I believe, and she’s getting her masters in the same field now. So she’s looking for something that would be small enough to carry around and connect with her phone, and that she would be able to read stuff off of.

Hey Mariya, I would love to know more about this braille display, my tech person at VR won’t help me get one because she doesn’t wanna justify it. I think this one really sounds great. Do you have more information on it? What is the company? How it works and what it does? How much it is? If you don’t want to answer all those questions, can you at least give the company name and or the link to the website? Thanks. Shikha, I am jealous you have one of those displays. I would love to have it.

I currently have the smart beetle which is a 14 cell display and a 40 cell BrailleNote apex? What is the display you suggested Mariya? It sounds great! :) I want to hear more!
Thanks,

Amanda

Subject: [NABS-L] [nabs-l] accessibility of anatomy courses
Message-ID: <B06085AE-BFEE-428C-A640-AD1534F5974E@gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
I am currently taking an Anatomy and Physiology course, and I'm wondering if anyone has used strategies to make a course so based on diagrams more accessible? I've spoken to the professor and the disability resource center, and essentially right now, the thought process is to use models when they are available and tactile diagrams when they are not. My only issue is that, when using models in the lab, it doesn't give me much material to be able to study. 
Also, for those who used tactile diagrams, who was responsible for creating them? I would think it would be the lab assistant/reader I have for this course.
Thanks for your help.

Hi. Let me start this by saying that I have been through physiology as well as human anatomy and a comparative anatomy class complete with dissection. Tactile diagrams can be very helpful, but another thing that I found to be a good learning aid is to get some model magic and either make your own models or have someone make them for you. You can take them home with you and use them to study. As far as the diagrams go, you can have someone draw for you on swellpaper and then put it through a machine like the picture in a flash. This is definitely not your only option, but it is what I used and found it to be the most effective. It also depends on how many diagrams the professor uses and how many of them can be better represented for you with a handmade model or with a model that is already in the biology department.
Please feel free to call me.
