[Trainer-talk] What adaptive technologies are effective for educators?

[Nancy Coffman]

In Nebraska, we have children using Job Access with Speech (JAWS).  We also
have youth who are using Braille note taking devices.  If you are having
trouble getting technology funded, I would recommend NVDA (Nonvisual Desktop
Access).  It provides speech and Braille output with a variety of displays
and an affordable donation will get you a copy of the program.  For the
price, it is a gem.  I also like it on computers that don't have JAWS
because I can run it from a thumb drive.

Hi there,

My name is Alan Chatham, and I'm a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon
University's Human Computer Interaction Institute.  I'm working on a project
proposal for a program that is focused on developing adaptive technology to
support blind students in India. I don't know really know anything about
adaptive technology for the blind, so I wanted to ask what assistive and
adaptive technologies are people currently actually using in teaching
environments here? Which tools are actually useful and in widespread use?

Thanks for any help,
Alan Chatham
