Learn about blindness technology from the best!
 
Technology is in a constant state of flux.  New devices, software, and
services are being implemented by business and education on what seems like
a daily basis. Blind and low vision users need access to these same
technologies in order to compete with their sighted peers. Access technology
vendors are constantly working to help consumers meet these needs.  With the
challenges come opportunities for users, and the people who train and
support them.  This two-and-a-half-day seminar is designed to provide
trainers and content creators with the information they need about these
powerful tools to ensure that their blind and low vision users can succeed
in their endeavors.  To meet this goal, the training will provide hands-on
involvement with: 
  

*	Screen access software 
*	Braille 
*	DAISY eBooks 
*	Tactile graphics creation 
*	Apples iDevices 
*	Mac computers 
*	Notetakers 
*	Low vision solutions 
*	Other tools  

 
Dont miss this opportunity to learn from experts in the access technology
field, experience the latest in the industry, and visit the largest showcase
of blindness technology in the United States.
