[stylist] Designing websites and assistive technology- justin

[Applebutter Hill]

April,
A friend of mine who lost her vision in her 60s took a course through South
Carolina's office for VI or whatever they call it, and they had a wonderful
step-by-step guide for learning to use Outlook 2010. I assume they have
something for other programs as well. That was for Jaws.

Actually, learning to design websites is very similar to learning to use
assistive technology, or should be.  In fact, a lot of the terms used should
be the same (those little arrows to choose items in menus, and many more).

Biggest difference:  Webdesign has step by step training programs.  That I
found after I learned how to do it.

Assistive technology - it's a total guess.  There isn't even a dictionary
for terms.  It's like  - How do you open an email?  Try one of these 400
keyboard commands, and you may get lucky.  Otherwise, forget it.  We aren't
going to have a guide.  We don't want anyone to know how to use it.
