>>Greetings. this is regarding a position in the technology department
>>at the criss Cole Rehabilitation Center. A position has recently
>>become available at this adult training center for the blind in
>>Austin, Texas. This is the state's training center. the position will
>>be open until April 14. Criss cole helps blind adults regain their
>>independence, or build on what skills they already have. Criss Cole
>>has a very good policy for those with guide dogs, mainly that the
>>student must not use the dog for 4 hours of the day, but they have the
>>option of using their dog guide the rest of the training day. this is
>>more progressive in my humble opinion as compared to other training
>>centers. I am not trying to start debate on this, just pointing out
>>the policy at Criss cole. I have been working at criss cole for the
>>past 5 years and have very much enjoyed it. I can say from experience
>>that the technology department does not have openings very often, at
>>least compared to other departments at the center. Those that are
>>interested are highly encouraged to apply. In general, the person
>>would need to be familiar with JAWS, Windows, and other Microsoft
>>Office related software. the person would also need to be willing to
>>undergo blindfold training and wear a blindfold if they are low vision
>>or sighted. To read more about the requirements and other job details,
>>go to the following link:
