I don't believe that they have worked with too many blind people. Although, they do work with people who have different disabilities. I get the feeling though, that a lot of the people they work with, have such disabilities as, autism, and things of that nature.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Anyway, I am currently taking a computer concepts course. It is a basic course, from what I understand. It will cover such things as, Microsoft Word, and all of those products. As well as maybe a couple of other things. But it isn't anything too crazy! This is a course that I have to take. It is one of the requirements.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>So what I was wondering is, is there anyone here who has dealt with this sort of class, in the last few years, or so?</span><br><span></span><br><span>How did you get through this class?</span><br><span></span><br><span>What were some things that needed to be done? Either, things that you needed from the professor? Or, things that the disability services office needed to do?</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I have a pretty decent professor. He wants to make this class work for me. And, he is even trying to help me, a little before class.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Also, I am able to use my own laptop. They are not having me use one of the computers in the classroom. We use Canvas, quite regularly, to upload our assignments. That is the easy part.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I am really struggling with this class. I don't know how to perform a lot of the tasks that he is asking of us. And, he doesn't know what to do, either. I have been trying to research things, and find the answers. That way, we can both learn together.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>However, trying to do this, while managing my other three classes, is turning out to be rather difficult. And of course, the disability services office, does not have too many answers. Which really doesn't surprise me, because they do not have the experience.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Any thoughts, and advice on all of this, would be very much appreciated!</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Thank you,</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Terri</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NABS-L mailing list</span><br><span>NABS-L@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NABS-L:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/noahcarver494%40gmail.com</span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
