Things to do and places to go.
Dear Community Members,
I work with James City County Parks & Recreation, and we would like to
invite you or your organization to be a vendor at our Disability Awareness
Trick or Treat on Saturday, October 28th from 9 am-noon at Abram Frink Jr.
Community Center here in Williamsburg.
This event was new last year and was a huge success! This event is FREE and
designed to give a sensory friendly environment for all ages and abilities
within the community. We are reaching out to you, because you are a great
resource for individuals with disabilities! We invite you to come and
decorate your table area for the holiday and bring some treats to hand out.
We ask that all decorations and costumes are family friendly, and not scary.
I have attached a vendor application and flyer that details the event. This
is an indoor event and we will supply tables and chairs.
All applications are due by Friday, October 13 and can be returned to me by
mail (5340 Palmer Lane, Suite 1B, Williamsburg, VA 23188), fax
(757-259-5358) or email ( <mailto:Tracy.Newsom at jamescitycountyva.gov>
Tracy.Newsom at jamescitycountyva.gov).
If you are interested in participating, please contact me as soon as
possible to reserve your slot or if I can answer any questions or concerns
you might have.
Thank you for your time.

Items and Services.

The iPhone has a built-in screen reader called VoiceOver and anyone that
starts to use it has to be aware there is a steep learning curve. So, we are
informing you that there are some extra resources out there to get you
started or even help you along your journey to be a proficient VoiceOver
user.
Apple has included an area called VoiceOver Practice which lets you practice
gestures and lets you know what each gesture does as you perform them in the
practice area, but this can only get you so far before you may need some
extra training from an IT trainer or a member of your peers. To try out
VoiceOver Help perform a quadruple finger double tap on the screen and
Voiceover will announce starting help.
But recently We did discover a new app called VO Starter. According to the
makers of this app "VO Starter is the first app to offer blind and visually
impaired iOS users training on the built-in screen reader, VoiceOver".
After you download the VO Starter app and launch it you are met with a
simple interface. You can simply press on a start button and then you will
be walked through a step-by-step tutorial of how to use VoiceOver.
Alternatively, you can tap on the different sections that are available on
the first page of the app such as
* VoiceOver basics
* basic gestures
* magic tap
* using the Rotor
* using the home and lock screens
* status bar and control centre
* learning how to edit text
* multi-finger gestures and advanced features.
As you can see, a lot of information is covered, and there is even an option
to listen to the instructions in a real voice if you prefer. At the end of
each section, you get the chance to practice what you have learned. This
feature is really good and is especially helpful for more difficult tasks
like entering text or using the rotor.
Verdict
We really like this app; it is good for trainers and users that are new to
VoiceOver, and it is a great resource/tutorial to get you started.
Download the <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vo-starter/id586844936> VO
Starter App from the App Store.
Peace,
