This is the NFB Deaf-Blind Division's Outreach project to  try to ask each state to identify Deaf-Blind in their state and form committee's, to advocate, and to educate for the needs of the Deaf-Blind, and to promote Deaf-Blind Awareness as well as the ICanConnect Project.  Please email me privately off-list at tracieinman at yahoo.com. Thanks

Hello does anyone know if there are any deaf-blind individuals in Austin 
Texas who know ASL? DARS was a real pain in the but about my ASL class and 
refused to help me at all!  The austin community colledge won't help either 
accept in class! I did not have much luck with the deaf-blind office, there 
really bad down heare; sometimes I wonder if they ever attended school in 
the office! Well, if DARS keeps telling me, "no," I will surely do it, 
smiles!  Heather

Hello,

     I am a writer who is a visual learner, who has recently been diagnoses
legally blind.  I also wearing a hearing, and have difficulty comprehending
vocal words, especially on  low vision days.  I've always learned by sight.
Now, that's becoming difficult.

      Until my recent vision loss, I always used closed captioned on tv,
when it was available, so I could understand what was being said.

     I am trying to find an affordable solution for writing and editing for
screen reading and dictation, preferably combined.  Dragon has crashed my
computer a hundred times, and I've had to reformat all three I've tried it
on multiple times.  Right now, I'm using the Microsoft speech recognition,
and the NVDIA program part of the time, and not very successfully.

      I have the cassettes to start the listening course from Hadley.  (Last
week was my 40th birthday week vacation, so I planned ahead to have them
arrive so I could start them tomorrow.)

     Any other suggestions or ideas that may help me in the adjusting
process?

Thanks,
April Brown
