[Nfbktad] Any suggestions on accessible washers

[slery]

Tonia,

The last time I was looking, within the last year, most had knobs on them.
You'll need to find out if they automatically start at the same spot but
ours does (it is two or more years old). Several of the models I have seen
either audibly click at each notch or you can feel when it moves into each
selection as you turn it. The lower end models seem to have less "visual"
information.

PS About two months ago at Staples, they had an hp touch screen printer that
had textured buttons on the screen. It wasn't turned on, so I couldn't tell
how accessible it truly was, but it is at least a step in the right
direction.
