[Trainer-talk] Screen Readers in a Rehabilitation Training Center

[Sylvia Yasa]

Hi List Participants,

I teach technology at a blindness rehabilitation training center in
Maryland. On many occasions, we get students who have other
difficulties like learning disabilities, memory impairments, cognitive
issues, literacy issues, etc.

>From your experience, what are screen readers, other than JAWS or
Windows Eyes, that can be efficient options?
Another question is: "Are there any formalized assessments that can
determine whether a student possesses the necessary skills to learn a
fully functional and complex screen reader like JAWS?"

Your input is highly appreciated!

Sylvia
