Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any experience with, or knowledge of, the
accessibility of software programs used for electronic medical records
using a screen reader?

I have some limited experience with EMR and accessibility. My health insurer
had a pretty good software package for accessibility, but their new partner,
who uses something different, is not accessible beyond logging in. Still
working on that issue.

Hey Hey NABS,

It’s me again, that guy who always talks about the NABS Outreach committee.
However, this time I have something different, something quite special.

Our very own comrade, Juhi Narula, Vice President of the Maryland
Association of Blind Students is hosting a virtual event that I KNOW is of
interest to many of you. This is through her non-profit, Cherish Life.
Please see the below text from Juhi, and consider RSVPing.


>From Juhi:
Hi everyone! For those of you who don't know, I founded a non-profit
organization called Cherish Life, that aims to support the blind/visually
impaired community. We are hosting a virtual panel event, featuring a
selection of blind and visually impaired individuals on June 5th, 2022 from
2:00 - 3:15 PM EST. During this discussion, we will hear their
perspectives, experiences, and struggles in relation to traveling as blind
students and instructors. It is going to be a great opportunity to learn
more!

RSVP at the link below to sign up and receive the zoom link. I'd really
appreciate if you could pass this info to others and would love to see you
there 🙂

Hi all,

I hope this email finds you well.

About two weeks ago, I was dismissed from my graduate program at Nyu due to my obtaining less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA. However, I plan to appeal my dismissal due namely to the fact that I only failed one class, while passing the other to I was enrolled in with flying colors (with an A minus and a B plus). The main reason I failed the one class was due to accessibility issues. I naturally plan to include these rather unforseen and extenuating circumstances in my appelate brief that I have to submit to NYK by next week, but I'm also wondering about including something that may very well make my case/arguments more compelling.

My graduate program is all online, meaning I've had no in-person classroom instruction at all. I am aware that in-person instruction is 100 percent covered by the ADA and IDEA, meaning essentially that professors are required by law to provide students with all academic accommodations they request, as well as ensuring that their mode of instruction is as accessible to students with disabilities as possible. What I don't know, however, is whether or not the same holds true for online classes/fully online programs. So I was therefore hoping someone could clarify this for me. If onine instruction is covered under the law, which one(s) do they fall under? Second, I was also wondering whether or not students are required to disclose their disability to the school for online classes the way they have to do for in-person, or whether the school just has to naturally make their online instruction modes accessible regardless of whether or not there are disabled students present. I ran into a similar dillema last spring semester as well, during which I failed that same class due to accessibility issues, which resulted in my having to repeat the course this semester. However, at that time, I did not disclose to NYU that I was disabled because I didn't think it would be that important for online classes especially. Fortunately, I learned from that mistake this time around, and decided to take a more proactive approach by requesting academic accommodations from the Office for Student Accessibility (which did turn out all right but obviously not perfect given that  I ran into accessibility issues with that same class yet again). If the student is required to disclose their disability to the school in order to receive academic accommodations, then that might not belp me a whole lot in my appelate case. If, on the other hand, this responsibility falls purely on the school, then that just might make my case all the more cmpelling.

I'm really hoping someone on here will be able to clarify these two points for me. If you have any additional questions for me or need further clarification on my case, please let me know.

Thanks,

Sami

As far as I know, universal design is not written in the law. Therefore, you have to disclose your disability if you are in need of accommodations. 

I just took an online course this summer. I was accommodated because I disclosed my accommodations/disability to the instructor.

Celie is a young poor, uneducated 14-year-old African-American teenager girl living in the Southern United States in the early 1900s. She writes letters to God because her father, Alphonso, beats and rapes her. Alphonso has already impregnated Celie once, which resulted in the birth of a girl, Olivia, whom Alphonso abducted. Celie believes that Alphonso killed Olivia. Celie then has a second child, and Celie's ailing mother dies after cursing Celie on her deathbed. The second child is a boy named Adam, whom Alphonso takes from Celie shortly after his birth.

Celie and her younger sister, 12-year-old Nettie, learn that a man identified only as "Mister" wants to marry Nettie. Alphonso refuses to let Nettie marry, instead arranging for Mister to marry Celie. Mister, a widower, needing someone to care for his own two children and keep his own house clean, eventually accepts the offer. Mister physically, sexually, and verbally abuses Celie, and his two children mistreat her as well.

Shortly thereafter, Nettie runs away from Alphonso and takes refuge at Celie's house, where Mister makes sexual advances toward her. Celie then advises Nettie to seek assistance from a well-dressed black woman whom she saw in the general store a while back; unbeknownst to Celie, the woman adopted Olivia, and she is the only black woman Celie has ever seen with money of her own. Nettie is forced to leave after promising to write. Celie, however, never receives any letters and concludes that her sister Nettie is dead.

Time passes, and Harpo, Mister's son, falls in love with an assertive girl named Sofia, who becomes pregnant with Harpo's baby and, despite initial resistance from Mister, marries Harpo. Harpo and Sofia have five more children in short order. Celie is amazed by Sofia's defiant refusal to submit to Harpo's attempts to control her. As Harpo is kinder and gentler than his father, Celie advises him not to dominate Sofia. Harpo temporarily follows Celie's advice but falls back under Mister's sway. Celie, momentarily envious of Harpo's genuine love of Sofia, then advises Harpo to beat her. Sofia fights back, however, and confronts Celie. A guilty Celie apologizes and confides in Sofia about all the abuse she suffers at Mister's hands. She also begins to consider Sofia's advice about defending herself against further abuse from Mister.

Shug Avery, a jazz and blues singer and Mister's long-time mistress, falls ill, and Mister takes her in. Celie, who has been fascinated by photos of Shug that she found in Mister's belongings, is thrilled to have her there. Mister's father expresses disapproval of the arrangement, reminding Mister that Shug has three out-of-wedlock children, though Mister implies to him that he is those children's father, upon which Mister's father leaves in disgust. While Shug is initially rude to Celie, who has taken charge of nursing her, the two become friends, and Celie soon finds herself infatuated with Shug.

Frustrated by Harpo's domineering behavior, Sofia moves out, taking her children with her. Several months later, Harpo opens a juke joint where a fully recovered Shug performs nightly. Shug decides to stay when she learns that Mister beats Celie when she is away. Shug and Celie grow closer.

Sofia returns for a visit and promptly gets into a fight with Harpo's new girlfriend, Squeak, knocking Squeak's teeth out. In town one day, while Sofia is enjoying a day out with her new boyfriend, a prizefighter, and their respective children, she gets into a physical altercation with the mayor after his wife, Miss Millie, insults Sofia and her children. The police arrive and brutally beat Sofia, leaving her with a cracked skull, broken ribs, her face rendered nearly unrecognizable, and blind in one eye. She is subsequently sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Squeak, mixed-race and Sheriff Hodges' illegitimate niece, attempts to blackmail the sheriff into releasing Sofia, resulting in her being raped by her uncle. Squeak cares for Sofia's children while she is incarcerated, and the two women develop a friendship. Sofia is eventually released and begins working for Miss Millie, which she detests.

Despite being newly married to a man called Grady, Shug instigates a sexual relationship with Celie on her next visit. One night Shug asks Celie about her sister, and Shug helps Celie recover letters from Nettie that Mister has been hiding from her for decades. The letters indicate that Nettie befriended a missionary couple, Samuel and Corrine, the well-dressed woman Celie saw in the store. Nettie eventually accompanied them to Africa to do missionary work, Samuel and Corrine having unwittingly adopted both Adam and Olivia. Corrine, noticing her adopted children resemble Nettie, wonders if Samuel fathered the children with Nettie. Increasingly suspicious, Corrine tries to limit Nettie's role in her family.

Through her letters, Nettie reveals she has become disillusioned with her missionary work. Corrine became ill with a fever, and Nettie asked Samuel to tell her how he adopted Olivia and Adam. Realizing Adam and Olivia are Celie's children, Nettie then learned Alphonso is actually her and Celie's stepfather. Their actual father was a store owner that white men lynched because they resented his success. She also learned their mother suffered a mental collapse after her husband's death and that Alphonso exploited the situation to control their mother's considerable wealth.

Nettie confesses to Samuel and Corrine she is the children's biological aunt. The gravely ill Corrine refuses to believe her until Nettie reminds her of her previous encounter with Celie in the store. Later, Corrine dies, finally having accepted Nettie's story. Meanwhile, Celie visits Alphonso, who confirms Nettie's story. Celie begins to lose some of her faith in God, which she confides to Shug, who explains to Celie her own unique religious philosophy. Shug helps Celie realize that God is not someone who has power over her like the rest of the men in Celie's life. Rather, God is an “it” and not a “who."

Having had enough of her husband's abuse, Celie decides to leave Mister along with Shug and Squeak, who is considering a singing career of her own. Celie puts a curse on Mister before leaving him for good, settling in Tennessee and supporting herself as a seamstress.

Alphonso dies, Celie inherits his land, and moves back into her childhood home. Around this time, Shug falls in love with Germaine, a member of her band, and this news crushes Celie. Shug travels with Germaine, all the while writing postcards to Celie. Celie pledges to love Shug even if Shug does not love her back.

Celie learns that Mister, suffering from a considerable decline in fortunes after Celie left him, has changed dramatically, and Celie begins to call him by his first name, Albert. Albert proposes that they marry "in the spirit as well as in the flesh," but Celie declines.

Meanwhile, Nettie and Samuel marry and prepare to return to America. Before they leave, Adam marries Tashi, an African girl. Following an African tradition, Tashi undergoes the painful rituals of female circumcision and facial scarring. In solidarity, Adam undergoes the same facial scarring ritual.

As Celie realizes that she is content in her life without Shug, Shug returns, having ended her relationship with Germaine. Nettie, Samuel, Olivia, Adam, and Tashi all arrive at Celie's house. Nettie and Celie reunite after 30 years and introduce one another to their respective families.

Hi,Let me preface my comments by saying I am not an attorney, so take my comments for what they're worth.You said you did notify the Office for Student Accessibility, which is a good first start.  If you hadn't, my opinion is that you'd have zero ground to stand on.  They can't accommodate what they don't know about.  My next question would be though, when the accessibility issues occurred during the semester, what action(s) did you take to notify someone...ie. the instructor, Office for Student Accessibility, etc...so that further discussions could be had about what other things could be done to address the issues?   If you did this, you may very well have a case.  If you didn't, they are likely going to argue that you never notified them of any issues and therefore, they aren't responsible for something they don't know about.  I'm actually currently in a legal battle with my employer over accommodations.  Although it isn't the same situation as yours, it is similar in the fact that if I hadn't documented all the meetings, emails, phone calls, conversations, etc. that I have had with my employer over needed accommodations, I likely would not have a case.  Since I have done these things though, I do in fact have a case and have a way to then hold them accountable.  Like I said, this is just my cents worth.  Regardless, I hope things work out for you.  Best of luck.Nicole

Hi all!
When one attends college, it's important to disclose one's disability
because without doing that, one is much worse off due to accessibility
issues. Since online classes are not universal design and are also not
consistent across the board in the accessibility department, any more than
in person classes are, it's extremely important to disclose your
disability because it's the only way to have a remotely fair shot at
succeeding in college of all levels. I believe that if you're disabled and
you don't disclose it, you're practically asking to fail in the long run
because it's built for the sighted and able-bodied world, not the disabled
world. I don't care if the class is online, in person, over Zoom or any
form of a hybrid. If you're taking any class at all, you'll have your best
shot at success when you disclose your disability because your disability
alone can hold you back, particularly when it gets in the way of passing a
class without the right accommodations. I also believe in planning for
classes as though I were planning a space flight mission at NASA because
there are enough problems with accessibility even when you get the right
support that it could derail your education when these kinds of issues
prevent your ability to succeed. Some classes are totally inaccessible
without any form of accommodations. When you're taking online courses, I
think one disadvantage is that you don't have the same sort of access to
your school's disabilities department which makes the whole thing ten
times worse without a disability disclosure to your school. Even then,
you'll still have to use your resources, but this time, in combination
with the resources from your school. As for the legalese, if you're in
school and you sign up for an online class, you have the same rights to
your accommodations that you would if you were taking an in person class.
Some of the resources may be different, some are less accessible and
others may be impossible online, but none the less, the rights are the
same for online as in person, but unlike in person, you're spending more
time on your own with your own resources, even when you do combine them
with your school's resources. Because of this, in the online world, I
don't recommend anyone to just depend on their school's disability
department. Use them in tandem with your own resources, but do it as
required since every class is different, but the same goes for every
subject, every teacher, and even, every available resource. I hope this
helps!
Kendra

As far as I know, universal design is not written in the law. Therefore,
you have to disclose your disability if you are in need of accommodations.


I just took an online course this summer. I was accommodated because I
disclosed my accommodations/disability to the instructor.

Hi all,

I hope this email finds you well.

About two weeks ago, I was dismissed from my graduate program at Nyu due
to my obtaining less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA. However, I plan to appeal
my dismissal due namely to the fact that I only failed one class, while
passing the other to I was enrolled in with flying colors (with an A minus
and a B plus). The main reason I failed the one class was due to
accessibility issues. I naturally plan to include these rather unforseen
and extenuating circumstances in my appelate brief that I have to submit
to NYK by next week, but I'm also wondering about including something that
may very well make my case/arguments more compelling.

My graduate program is all online, meaning I've had no in-person classroom
instruction at all. I am aware that in-person instruction is 100 percent
covered by the ADA and IDEA, meaning essentially that professors are
required by law to provide students with all academic accommodations they
request, as well as ensuring that their mode of instruction is as
accessible to students with disabilities as possible. What I don't know,
however, is whether or not the same holds true for online classes/fully
online programs. So I was therefore hoping someone could clarify this for
me. If onine instruction is covered under the law, which one(s) do they
fall under? Second, I was also wondering whether or not students are
required to disclose their disability to the school for online classes the
way they have to do for in-person, or whether the school just has to
naturally make their online instruction modes accessible regardless of
whether or not there are disabled students present. I ran into a similar
dillema last spring semester as well, during which I failed that same
class due to accessibility issues, which resulted in my having to repeat
the course this semester. However, at that time, I did not disclose to NYU
that I was disabled because I didn't think it would be that important for
online classes especially. Fortunately, I learned from that mistake this
time around, and decided to take a more proactive approach by requesting
academic accommodations from the Office for Student Accessibility (which
did turn out all right but obviously not perfect given that  I ran into
accessibility issues with that same class yet again). If the student is
required to disclose their disability to the school in order to receive
academic accommodations, then that might not belp me a whole lot in my
appelate case. If, on the other hand, this responsibility falls purely on
the school, then that just might make my case all the more cmpelling.

I'm really hoping someone on here will be able to clarify these two points
for me. If you have any additional questions for me or need further
clarification on my case, please let me know.

Thanks,

Sami

Hi all,

Resources for MLA format itself are ubiquitous, but I'm having a
harder time finding resources for ensuring everything is correct with
a screen reader. Does anyone know a good breakdown of keystrokes etc.
etc. that're essential for MLA--creating headers, for example, and
even more important, making sure they're on the right side of the
page. I'm sure there has to be something; I'm just failing to find it.

Hello All,

I am preparing for the College Algebra and Principles of Microeconomics CLEP exams. As my dad thought I should do when we were conversating about taking the College Algebra class at my college, which I may or may not still do depending on about if and what happens and my decisions/the conclusions made relating to me getting the accommodations I will or will not be getting for the CLEP exams, I am asking is there someone on here or you know who has an algebra book in braille I could borrow and/or have? Does anyone also have a brailled microeconomics or economics book I could borrow and/or have, too?

Thank you,
Ahbee 


  
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

 Providing Inaccessible Online Content
Message-ID: <EBC4F8A7-5393-4BF5-B2B2-7CA5B188288A@lighthouse-sf.org>

Hi everyone,
Please see below from the Department of Justice. Please contact them directly should you wish to respond.


Department of Justice Alleged UC Berkeley Violates ADA By Providing Inaccessible Online Content

After conducting an investigation, the Department of Justice issued a Letter of Findings<https://www.ada.gov/briefs/uc_berkley_lof.pdf> against UC Berkeley, concluding that UC Berkeley’s online content is inaccessible to individuals with disabilities in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  UC Berkeley creates and publishes free online content, including courses on its UC Berkeley platform, as well as audio and video content featuring conferences, lectures, sporting events, graduation ceremonies, and other university events or programming on its YouTube and Apple Podcasts channels.  UC Berkeley’s online content is made available to the public, but much of it is inaccessible to individuals with hearing, vision, and manual disabilities.

If you have tried to access UC Berkeley’s online content but were unable to do so because it is inaccessible, please email the Department of Justice at UC.Berkeley at usdoj.gov<mailto:UC.Berkeley at usdoj.gov>.

The Department’s Letter of Findings explained that some of UC Berkeley’s visual online content does not provide an alternative way to access images or visual information (e.g., graphs, charts, animations, or hyperlinks on slides), such as audio description or alternative text, which makes it inaccessible to people with vision disabilities.  Audio description is the verbal description of a visual image (for example, a picture or scene from a movie or play) in order to provide essential information to individuals with vision disabilities.  Similarly, alternative text conveys the content and function of an image, including pictures, illustrations, or charts, to individuals with vision disabilities so that they can understand the image.  The letter also explained that UC Berkeley’s online content also includes documents and links that are inaccessible to screen readers or are not keyboard-accessible because of improper formatting.  As a result, the documents and links are inaccessible to individuals with vision or manual disabilities, including those who use screen readers or who do not use a mouse.

The letter also explained that much of UC Berkeley’s online content includes videos without captions or videos with automated captions (typically referred to as automatic captions) that are inaccurate, lack punctuation or proper grammar, and are difficult or impossible to understand.  As a result, the audio content on the video is inaccessible to people with hearing disabilities.

The Department of Justice is interested in speaking with individuals with disabilities who have faced barriers in accessing UC Berkeley’s free, online content.  Please email us at UC.Berkeley at usdoj.gov<mailto:UC.Berkeley at usdoj.gov>.

Message-ID: <CA+Y5FgFTag5DkkcHA00F91_yjV70HSSiDxDqwLkyMtrFhSjVTg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello NABSters!



With National Convention officially less than a month away, many of us are
jumping for joy. The NABS fundraising committee hopes that you will join us
in walking for a wonderful cause. That’s right; it is time for the 6th Annual
NABS Walk-a-thon! Register to participate in this fun-filled event with the
link below.



https://go.rallyup.com/e6e09d/Members/Details



The event is simple: register to walk, share your page with friends,
family, and colleagues, track the distance you walk on Thursday, July 7th,
and raise money for NABS! Not only will you be raising money for our
transformational organization, but you will also have the chance to win
big. Our top fundraiser will win a cash prize, and anyone who registers and
raises at least $25 is entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card. Plus,
team up with up to 4 total people to compete for a pizza party courtesy of
NABS.



The walk-a-thon is open to all, so we would love to have you walk with us
even if you will not be joining us in New Orleans. Lace up your walking
shoes and get moving to raise money for NABS.



If you have any questions about the event, don’t hesitate to reach out to
me. I’m happy to get you up to speed so you can walk on with NABS.



With Passion,

Logan Stenzel

*The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families*

Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania*



Hello all:

Please join us for our monthly meeting. We will start off our seven month
series where we dive deeper into the book, *"The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective Families: Building a Beautiful Family Culture in a Turbulent
World"* by Stephen Covey.

This month, We will be discussing the introduction and the first habit: Be
Proactive.



You can find the book in BARD mobile, Audible, Kindle, and Apple books.


Whether you are a blind parent, a parent of blind children, a prospective
parent, or a supporter of any kind, we hope you can attend!

You do not have to live in Pennsylvania to join our meeting. Parenting has
no geographiccal barriers so we do not think our meetings should either!

Message-ID: <75307800-C83D-47C1-A789-3A2A89623FEE@gmail.com>

  Hello everyone,

  I hope this message finds you safe and in good health. I am writing to you today to ask a few questions about online accessible education, particularly in business. 
  I have been thinking about going back to school, and studying business rather than studying education which was my initial goal, however, my current circumstances do not allow me to return to in person classes. Therefore, I am looking to see if I can find an online school where I can obtain a degree in business.

I think the first thing to decide is whether or not a traditional college or university offers a completely online degree in your field. It isn't always necessary to go to an online only school. For example, I am a history major and the college I attend started offering that degree completely online about four years ago. This allows for the use of federal student aid. You would be able to use all accommodations normally associated with in-person classes; just register with your school's disabilities office. 

I have no experience with online only schools, so can't tell you about accommodations or financial aid related to those types of schools.

  Hello everyone,

  I hope this message finds you safe and in good health. I am writing to you today to ask a few questions about online accessible education, particularly in business. 
  I have been thinking about going back to school, and studying business rather than studying education which was my initial goal, however, my current circumstances do not allow me to return to in person classes. Therefore, I am looking to see if I can find an online school where I can obtain a degree in business. I’m interested to know if any of you have experience with online learning, and how well it worked out for you. 
  I am also interested to know if    Federal aid is able to cover any expenses for tuition on online school, or did you have to take care of the payments yourself? Also, were you able to receive any accommodations through that school? 
  One more thing, in order for you to go into 100% online learning, did you have to work on any credits through a community college and have them transferred over? Your time is greatly appreciated. Have a great one.

It really depends on what your needs are. If you need Internet access, you
should probably get the BrailleNote Touch, but if you just need a simple
notetaking device, a braille display should be sufficient.

This is a controversial subject; however, you should get a Braille display and connect it to your phone and computer.  Braille displays can last for ten years; however, the computers to which the Braille display is attached have a much shorter life.

I really think it’s personal preference, I would ask yourself, what are you hoping to do with either a display or a note taking device? What are the pros and cons of each device, research a couple of both, and then perhaps it  a decision can be made. I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Kat

I personally have the Mantis Q40 and love the QWERTY keyboard on it. This
is my first braille display ever so I do not have past experience on which
one could be the best for your needs. I like the versitility of connecting
the Mantis to my iPad, iPhone, and computer and using it on its own for
notes in class or important meetings. I have not used the feature a lot but
have played around with the calculator for basic calculations. There are
two online services that need the wifi connection of Bookshare and NFB
Newsline. If you have any questions about the Mantis I can do my best to
answer them.

Hi Ian,
I agree that it is definitely personal preference. In my experience, I have been able to do just about anything I need to do on my laptop, and it is really nice to have the option of braille with a quick connection to my braille display  if I need it, but it isn’t necessary. I will say that the display has been really helpful when I need to do a standing presentation where I might not have a podium or something to set down a larger device on. I can connect across the room to my laptop and scroll seamlessly with just the display in my hand. That’s a very specific situation, but I would encourage you to think about  things like that, and where you are most in need of braille versus being able to use your more main stream devices.
Hope that helps!
Best,
Mausam

Hi!
I think it depends on your needs. If you only want something more modern
but you only want to use it as a keyboard, then a braille display should
be fine. I recently got a Focus 14 which is great for using with my
computer. If you need something that stands on its own, a braille note
taker would suit you better. I have a Polaris Braille Sense, though it's
not as modern as my Focus 14. From my experience with this kind of
technology, even if you get a braille note taker, it will eventually
become a glorified braille display if you have it long enough, even when
it works normally. I have noticed that this kind of technology can
randomly stop working without rhyme or reason, or even logic so I
recommend that you place a longer warranty on the one you buy. The other
dark side is that these devices can also become out of date rather
quickly, much like computers can. Consequently, it's harder to upgrade
some of them. For example, if I were to upgrade my Polaris Braille Sense,
I would have to send it in, pay 1500 dollars, keep the braille display
part where the refreshable braille is located, but it would have to get
added to the new Polaris 6, I think it's called, then wait for it to
return in the mail which could take several months before you'll ever see
it again. Since I happen to be a college student, I needed something that
would keep up with my current tech, and I needed it with me in 3 months,
not 6 months or a year down the road because I have to finish up the last
of my math and science classes which will require a fully working one to
use. Instead of replacing my Polaris Braille Sense, I decided to instead,
get a Focus 14 which works with my computer just fine and does everything
I need with my computer. I personally would like to see a higher more
integrated quality of these devices, however, for the braille bit, I like
them since they are the only tools that allow one to use refreshable
braille. Finally, you can't compare and contrast these devices outside of
looking at them online which is a bummer because for those of us who wants
to touch the devices and test them out, there is no way to test drive them
or to even see which one is desirable by the way it feels and the bells
and whistles that each offer. I wish you luck on finding the one that you
think will work best for you!

Hi!
I have never done an online only school so I don't know how they work other
than that they only work online. As for online learning, I have taken online
classes at my community college, mostly as the result of the Covid pandemic.
In general, colleges that offer online use the same accessibility
requirements that in person classes do so long as you work through your
school's disability service office and that they know about your disability
in the first place. Even with the same accommodations as in person, the
matereals are not always accessible, and they are patchy at best. I just
finished two school years worth of Spanish classes. Each year, they used a
different website which had accessibility bugs that had to be worked out via
the developers of the actual websites because they are often third party
websites that are not part of your school's main website, even when
connected up through Canvis or Blackboard. Even when bugs get fixed,
sometimes, the websites themselves are not helpful, such as the ones which
required me to work specific verb forms in Spanish class. They were not
helpful to me with these verb forms, but working the verbforms were not
caused by accessibility issues. In contrast, I took a number of culture and
literature classes online that gave me very few troubles with accessibility
and they were also very helpful as well. Even so, there are some classes
that are too visual for the online world which require in person attendance.
I also wouldn't touch math or science online with a ten foot pole either
since they also open up way too many questions regarding accessibility. I'd
rather take those subjects in person. Despite unhelpful websites, I don't
mind language learning, literature, or culture classes on line so long as
the website or websites are also helpful in my overall progress in learning.
When one uses online classes, we often have to relay on our own resources in
combination with the school's resources because they're not as accessible as
they would be in person. As for the timing of online classes, I think they
take more time than in person classes because you're almost on your own for
accessibility, even when combined with your school's resources, you're on
your own for research, and again for doing the homework itself, and you
don't show up for lectures or other in person appointments. If you use Zoom
for a virtual class that's also synchronous, meaning that you have to show
up on Zoom like you would for an in person class, then you would have to
show up and you would have to make sure everything for your course is
accessible as well. No matter the format, you still have to keep up with
deadlines, appointments and due dates. It's common for homework to be due on
Sundays at 11:59 PM, but it's not always the case since some classes have
more than one homework due date per week and others require something done
before you show up to class if it's done virtually but over something like
Zoom. On the other hand, you don't have to worry about transportation or
where you live so long as you don't have to show up in person. I don't know
how one could survive in an online school, though it's possible to do so
because I have never attended one before. I hope this helps!

  Hello everyone,

  I hope this message finds you safe and in good health. I am writing to you
today to ask a few questions about online accessible education, particularly
in business.
  I have been thinking about going back to school, and studying business
rather than studying education which was my initial goal, however, my
current circumstances do not allow me to return to in person classes.
Therefore, I am looking to see if I can find an online school where I can
obtain a degree in business. I’m interested to know if any of you have
experience with online learning, and how well it worked out for you.
  I am also interested to know if    Federal aid is able to cover any
expenses for tuition on online school, or did you have to take care of the
payments yourself? Also, were you able to receive any accommodations through
that school?
  One more thing, in order for you to go into 100% online learning, did you
have to work on any credits through a community college and have them
transferred over? Your time is greatly appreciated. Have a great one.

Sincerely,
Jeanette (Adriana) Mendez

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our research mission.

Amazon gift cards are available for qualified NFB Convention attendees who are interested in participating in Pearson studies at the 2022 Convention. Pearson compensates study participants with $50 for each 30-minute block of study activities completed. Most studies last 1.5 hours. If interested and qualified, Convention attendees are allowed to participate in more than one study.

Below, you will find descriptions of 2 Pearson studies, with links to recruiting surveys for each:

Pearson's Accessible Equation Editor Study will take place from July 5, 2022 - July 10, 2022, at the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) National Convention in New Orleans. We are seeking participants in grades 6 through College who are currently taking or have recently taken grade-level math courses. Participants in the study will be compensated for their time and will provide feedback about the usability and accessibility of math editor prototypes.

Subject: [NABS-L] Braille Note Touch Plus or Braille Display

I have a Braille Note Touch and am currently trying out an Orbit
display. I like them both for different things.

I use the Braille Note touch for class and any note taking I need to
do. I prefer the keyboard on the touch, and I like to send email on
it. I've also used some of the Apps and generally like some of them. I
like using the touch because I don't always want speech in my ear. I
like the Orbit mostly strictly for connecting to my phone. I also
prefer reading books or my notes on the larger display of the touch,
but for texts and social media, the Orbit is good enough.

It's stuff like that you should consider. I would recommend absolutely
getting something with a separate note taking function. There is
nothing like taking notes without using a screen reader. You can
listen more effectively to presentations while taking notes. Also, you
don't have to lug around a laptop if you don't want to.

Just some thoughts. Hope they are helpful.

Julie

Message-ID: <805486687.815941.1655731092729@yahoo.com>

Hello, everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well and are enjoying your summer. I wondered, for those of you who use JAWS or NVDA; is there a way to use these screen readers with a laptop that does not have a number pad? I have been told multiple things; some people say yes, and other people say no. I am just wanting to get some feedback from people who have used a laptop that does not have a number pad successfully. Thanks, and I am looking forward to some responses. 

Kind Regards,

Jackson Schwoebel

The answer is definitely yes. Just use the laptop keyboard layout with either screen reader and you'll be good to go.

Best,

 Good morning, I have actually been quite successful at using a laptop with Jaws and nvda that does not have a number pad but instead has the row of numbers at the top. I have one such machine, boot camp. I hope that helps even a little bit. have an enjoyable week.

Hi: 

You can definitely use JAWS with a laptop that doesn't have a number pad. My
last laptop didn't and I used the row of numbers along the top of the
keyboard. I now have a laptop with a number pad, but still use the row of
numbers along the top, under the function keys.

Hello, everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well and are enjoying your summer. I wondered,
for those of you who use JAWS or NVDA; is there a way to use these screen
readers with a laptop that does not have a number pad? I have been told
multiple things; some people say yes, and other people say no. I am just
wanting to get some feedback from people who have used a laptop that does
not have a number pad successfully. Thanks, and I am looking forward to some
responses.

Hi Jackson:

My current laptop is an HP Envy notebook, which is a fairly compact PC that,
as you might imagine, doesn't have a number pad. I can use JAWS on this
laptop with much success. However, it is very important to set JAWS or
NVDA's keyboard layout to laptop mode. This changes the JAWS or NVDA key
from insert to caps lock, which is much easier to get to when doing
keystrokes on a small device, particularly if the laptop has multi-function
keys that require you to press both the insert key and the function key.

Hope this helps!

Chris

Reflect, Reequip, Reimagine: Raising the Bar for Blind Students!



The National Association of Blind Students (NABS) and the National
Federation of the Blind of Maryland invite you to the 2022 Atlantic
regional seminar, a fun-filled weekend brimming with opportunities for
professional growth, confidence building, and mentorship!



Friday, August 12 (6:00 PM) – Sunday, August 14 (12:00 PM)

Delta Hotels Baltimore Hunt Valley by Marriott



The past years have challenged blind students in a variety of ways, but we
will emerge stronger than ever. Through enlightening presentations,
spectacular guest speakers, exhilarating activities, and thought-provoking
discussions, we will reflect on the past, prepare in the present, and
reimagine our future. Together we can raise the bar for blind students!



Registration closes on Thursday, July 21, 2022, but before you rush to
reserve your spot, please note the following:


•Each attendee is responsible for a $100 registration fee, payable to NABS,
which will cover meals throughout the weekend as well as administrative
expenses necessary to support this event. We encourage you to proactively
reach out to your vocational rehabilitation agency and/or National
Federation of the Blind state affiliate to help offset this expense. This
fee is due by the time registration closes. Until we receive both your
registration form response and this fee, your spot is not guaranteed.


•Please note that all attendees will need to submit proof of a negative
COVID test within 60 hours of our event’s start, regardless of vaccination
status. This proof will need to be submitted to a designated party no later
than noon on Friday, August 12, 2022. Additionally, masks will be required
during any/all 2022 Atlantic Student Seminar activities.


•Finally, we will not be assigning roommates for this event. We are more
than happy to support you in finding a roommate if you require assistance,
which you can indicate on the registration form linked below; however, if
you do not either take the initiative to procure a roommate or reach out
for assistance, you will be responsible for the hotel expense of $104 +
applicable taxes and fees for each night of the event.



Register here: https://forms.gle/cALjLLGJTqdkRgd19



Please direct questions to Logan Stenzel (stenzellogan at gmail.com)



We hope to have as many of you attend as possible!

With Passion, Love, and Determination,
Logan Stenzel

Hi Kat,
So excited to hear about a new student hoping to get involved!
We have a membership process that begins with the student paying their $5 dues, filling out our membership application, and then being voted in by the board of directors. Information about the procedure, the membership application, and accepted payment types is on our website at http://nabslink.org/become-member
We of course welcome them to also join our committee calls as well!
Let me know if I can help further.
Best,
Mausam

Thanks, I did find this information online after I sent the email this morning, and directed them to the link I found. Unfortunately this is not anyone in Delaware, they are a friend of mine in Iowa.

Hi everyone,
I am taking a human biology course in the fall and have been informed that there will be a lot of diagram labeling involved to  identify specific areas of the human anatomy.
I was wondering if anyone has taken a course like this, and what Accommodations were helpful?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I completed  Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 for my degrees. I found that
having a sighted aid to describe items that the professor was going over in
class with tactile markers like bump dots on the less prominent portions
really helped me. I did have the issue of the professor addressing the aid
and not me multiple times but this is what worked for me and may not work
for you. I also went to open lab times when I could with my aid to go over
models when I had the time. During class you will find that the professor
goes over models extremely quickly for a blind person to understand because
they are used to teaching sighted people the information. That is why going
to open labs times are a must. I also suggest talking to your Accessibility
department about making tactile paper models with puffy paint or if your
school has some sort of department that makes 3D models have them help you
with making them of slides if you have to learn them. I had some knowledge
of human anatomy so a lot of the information was just an extension of what I
already knew. Also one thing that helped me was using a braille labeler to
print out numbers and number certain parts of a model and I have the key to
what the numbers were referring to. If you have any questions I can do my
best to help you more. I hope what I mentioned above gave you some ideas.

Good afternoon Nabsters!


Can you believe that National convention is just 2 weeks away?!


Fun fact; Canal Street where The New Orleans Marriott is located is  210-years-old, 171-feet wide, and has also previously been named the widest street in the world.


The NABS fundraising committee hopes that you will get some steps in along Canal Street and join us in walking for a wonderful cause. That’s right; don’t miss the opportunity to raise money for NABS during the 6th Annual NABS Walk-a-thon! There’s just 14 days left to register to participate in this fun-filled event with the link below.

https://go.rallyup.com/e6e09d/Members/Details

The event is simple: register to walk, share your page with friends, family, and colleagues, track the distance you walk on Thursday, July 7th  , and raise money for NABS! Not only will you be raising money for our transformational organization, but you will also have the chance to win big. Our top fundraiser will win a cash prize, and anyone who registers and raises at least $25 is entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card. Plus, team up with up to 4 total people to compete for a pizza party courtesy of NABS.

The walk-a-thon is open to all, so we would love to have you walk with us even if you will not be joining us in New Orleans. Lace up your walking shoes and get moving to raise money for NABS!

Howdy NABS fam!

Happy almost convention! This summer, I'm working in a research lab that is
leveraging machine embroidery for various accessibility applications. Does
anyone know of embroidery software (e.g. embrilliance, inkscape, etc.)
that's screen reader accessible or have any experience with non-visual
machine embroidery more generally?

Cheers,

Hi everybody,

I've had my Braillenote Touch for about five years now.  I've read its manual and can't find anything about how to set the clock.  My clock is currently 30 minutes behind actual time.  Can anyone tell me how to set this thing? I googled for videos and tech support and have come up with nothing.

Thanks.

Mike

I’m actually really interested in this as well and accessible ways to make patterns for fashion design. I really want to start learning how to make my own clothes and embroider but I don’t know where to even start when it comes to accessibility.
I hope that you are able to get some answers though.

Dear students,



This message is intended for folks who will be participating in the 2022
National Convention in New Orleans next week. Most opportunities are for

I am reaching out to you because we need your help. The College Board and
Pearson Education, both entities that provide critical resources to blind
students, are coming to national convention to conduct studies on their
platforms and resources.

I am writing this message to you as a valued member of the NABS community
to take action and help us preserve these important relationships. The best
part, all opportunities are paid generously!

I have put a letter from the College Board and descriptions from Pearson
below. Additionally, I attached the Pearson announcement to this message.
Please please please sign up if you are eligible, and spread the word far
and wide.

I am confident in our NABS community to get the job done!



Sincerely,

Kinshuk

Michael, Vito's youngest son and a former Marine, introduces his girlfriend, Kay Adams, to his family at the reception. Johnny Fontane, a popular singer and Vito's godson, seeks Vito's help in securing a movie role. Vito dispatches his consigliere, Tom Hagen, to persuade studio head Jack Woltz to give Johnny the part. Woltz complies after he finds the severed head of his prized stallion in his bed.

 

Near Christmas, drug baron Sollozzo asks Vito to invest in his narcotics business and for protection from the law. Vito declines, citing that involvement in narcotics would alienate his political connections. Suspicious of Sollozzo's partnership with the Tattaglia crime family, Vito sends his enforcer Luca Brasi to meet with the Tattaglias. Brasi is garroted to death during the meeting. Later, enforcers gun down Vito and kidnap Hagen. With Corleone's first-born Sonny now in command, Sollozzo pressures Hagen to persuade Sonny to accept the narcotics deal. Sonny retaliates for Luca's death with a hit on Bruno Tattaglia. Vito survives the shooting and is visited in the hospital by Michael, who finds him unprotected after NYPD officers on Sollozzo's payroll cleared out Vito's guards. Michael thwarts another attempt on his father's life but is beaten by corrupt police captain Mark McCluskey. Sollozzo and McCluskey request to meet with Michael and settle the dispute. Michael feigns interest and agrees to meet, but hatches a plan with Sonny and Corleone capo Clemenza to kill them and go into hiding. Michael meets Sollozzo and McCluskey at a Bronx restaurant; after retrieving a handgun planted into the bathroom by Clemenza, he fatally shoots both men.

 

Despite a clampdown by the authorities for the killing of a police captain, the Five Families erupt in open warfare. Michael takes refuge in Sicily and Fredo, Vito's second son, is sheltered by Moe Greene in Las Vegas. Sonny publicly attacks and threatens Carlo for physically abusing Connie. When he abuses her again, Sonny speeds to their home but is ambushed and murdered by gangsters at a highway toll booth. In Sicily, Michael meets and marries a local woman, Apollonia, but she is killed shortly thereafter by a car bomb intended for him.

 

Devastated by Sonny's death and tired of war, Vito sets a meeting with the Five Families. He assures them that he will withdraw his opposition to their narcotics business and forgo avenging Sonny's murder. His safety guaranteed, Michael returns home to enter the family business and marry Kay. Kay gives birth to two children in the early 1950s. With his father nearing the end of his life and Fredo not suited to lead, Michael assumes head of the Corleone family. Vito reveals to Michael that it was Don Barzini who ordered the hit on Sonny and warns him that Barzini would try to kill him at a meeting organized by a traitorous Corleone capo. With Vito's support, Michael relegates Hagen to managing operations in Las Vegas as he is not a "wartime consigliere". Michael travels to Las Vegas to buy out Greene's stake in the family's casinos and is dismayed to see that Fredo is more loyal to Greene than to his own family.

 

In 1955, Vito dies of a heart attack. At Vito's funeral, Tessio asks Michael to meet with Barzini, signaling his betrayal. The meeting is set for the same day as the baptism of Connie's baby. While Michael stands at the altar as the child's godfather, Corleone hitmen murder the dons of the Five Families and Greene, and Tessio is executed for his treachery. Michael extracts Carlo's confession to playing a part in Sonny's murder, assuring Carlo he is only being exiled, not murdered; afterward, Clemenza garrotes Carlo to death. Connie confronts Michael about Carlo's death while Kay is in the room. Kay asks Michael if Connie is telling the truth and is relieved when he denies it. As Kay leaves, Capos enter the office and pay reverence to Michael as "Don Corleone" before closing the door.

Subject: [NABS-L] June 2022 NABS Notes are Live Now: Catch Up Before
 Convention!
Message-ID: <CANGwUJMaW6Bxk59cJs+3s91LhbRZEOUoMHX00oovQmbyQmsCUg@mail.gmail.com>

Hey, NABSters!



We are so looking forward to seeing many of you in NOLA in just a few short
days! 😊



Before we arrive to National Convention, we thought a new edition of NABS
Notes would be a great way to prepare you for all that’s coming your way
and remind you of some of the amazing work we’ve accomplished over the last
month.



You can catch up before convention using the below link or by browsing the
attached file.

https://nabslink.org/article/nabs-notes-june-2022



Please also note that this will be our final edition of NABS Notes for the
foreseeable future as we will be turning our energy and attention to other
NABS initiatives. Thanks to all who have read along with us on this journey.



Best,

Elizabeth

Heya NABSters!

Here is one last friendly reminder that if you would like to vote and/or

Remember that if you don't complete these two steps before June 30, you
will not be able to run or vote during elections at the 2022 NABS Business
Meeting, which is taking place on Wednesday, July 6 from 6:15 to 10 PM CDT.
However, all are absolutely welcome and encouraged to join us Wednesday

another payment option for membership dues, don't hesitate to reach out to
me at gene.sh.kim at gmail.com.

Subject: [NABS-L] ONE WEEK LEFT: Register for the 6th Annual NABS Walkathon!
Message-ID: <0FCDBE66-2FA6-42B0-9881-2FA001236790@gmail.com>

Howdy NABS Fam! 

As we are all gearing up for convention, thinking about the massive hotel, bustling town of New Orleans, and action packed week ahead, I hope your feet are ready for some excessive walking. Why not make those steps count by participating in the 6th annual NABS walkathon? Not only will you be supporting your favorite organization with an ease of a stroll, but we have some fun twists this year to add some spice to this tradition. 

Here’s how it works: 
1- Register at the following link: 

https://go.rallyup.com/e6e09d/Members/Details 

2- Share your page with family and friends to gain sponsors. 
3- On Thursday July 7th track your walking distance and watch our fundraising number increase!

To add to the already enticing prize of knowing you helped out a great organization, we have some more goodies to look forward to. Our top fundraiser will win a cash prize and everyone who raised $25 or more will be entered into a raffle for a $50 gift card. That’s not all, if you team up with up to  4 people, you have a chance to win a pizza party in curtesy of NABS. 

Haven’t registered yet? Why not, times ticking! You only have 6 days left to sign up, so don’t waste those steps and get ready to walk for a wonderful cause! 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach  out, and I hope to see you in just a couple of days!  

With love, 
Manahil

I submitted the membership form; but, when submitting dues, I'm not able to
get past the "donate" screen; I've "submitted" this form several times.

Thank you.

Subject: [NABS-L] Krispy Kream fundraiser coming straight ahead!
Message-ID: <CAA44bzoDCx=new0E4eFk8Gognfi-_xrD5GG4Jp27n_r=sXv9gQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hey there!


My name is Z'Leah, Vice President of the Florida Association of Blind
Students (FABS).
I'm emailing today to advertise that the Florida students will be hosting
an online Krispy Kream fundraiser at convention.
FABS is conducting an online fundraiser to raise money for our state
convention in October and would love it if you would consider supporting us!

Order a dozen glazed Krispy Kream Doughnuts from us for $8:50 today. If
you're a crazy person and don't enjoy doughnuts, no worries! Maybe you'd
like to donate to us instead. We've made this super easy for you. All you
have to do is fill out the googgle doc form attached below or scan the
QR-code  and fill out your name, email address and how many dozens you
would like to purchase and await a personalized link from Krispy Kream to
come to your email. From there, you are able to go and pick up your yummy
doughnuts from your local store.

Our method of payment will be through paypal. We ask that whether you are
just donating or ordering your doughnuts, you indicate that in the memo
line of your payments to keep everything organized.

Please note a couple things:

   1.  We only have 18 boxes left to sell, so if you love doughnuts, Jump
   on it!
   2. We want everyone to know that per Krispy Kream, all boxes must be
   sold before they will send out links, so please be patient with us.

How it works
I along with a member of our communications committee will be attending the
convention in person where we will be walking around with QR-codes to the
form of the fundraiser. If you think that you or anyone that you know would
be intrested in purchasing, or donating to the FL students, you can email
or text me at the info below, and we can find a time/place to meet up and
get you that QR code.
You could also fill out the link below if you don't want to go through the
hassle of meeting up.
Thank you in advance for supporting the Florida Association of Blind
Students and we hope to see you soon, and that  you enjoy your tasty treat!
