[rehab] Question about Accessing Documentation

Sat Feb 22 20:49:55 UTC 2014

We use system 7. It works with jaws and scripts.  It has quirks that
everyone complains about. Not just me. Truth be told, I don't complaint much
any more because I can use it independently.

RJ, my agency also uses Aware. It is well designed and works great with
JAWS.

Grace, Florida uses aware. I'm a client of DBS, but I know about it. How 
long have you been working with rehab? RJ
