Come to the Mac Academy!
Description
This 5 day intensive workshop is designed to teach participants how
to use the Voiceover screen reader that is installed on every Apple
computer running the OSX10.6 Snow Leopard operating system.

Each day will consist of group instruction, time for practice, and
personalized one on one instruction.

Topics covered include, setting up an Apple computer and using
Voiceover out of the box, understanding the various elements, menus,
and dialogs encountered within the OS, and the many applications that
come pre-installed; word processing, browsing the internet, iTunes,
file management and much more.

Participants who do not already own an Apple computer will be
provided one to use while in class and participants may also purchase
a computer as part of the training so that they may take home the
computer which they have been working with during the workshop.

"Apple is the clear front runner in terms of off the shelf
accessibility" states Earle Harrison, President and Founder of Handy
Tech North America, "and we are proud to be among the first adaptive
technology companies to offer such an in-depth and  comprehensive
class on this exciting and ever evolving technology."

Who should attend?
Adaptive technology trainers, vision teachers, technicians and
rehabilitation professionals. Any blind or low vision professional or

included with every Apple Macintosh computer running the Snow Leopard
OSX10.6 operating system, with the goal of becoming  more competitive
with their sighted classmates or co-workers.
