[Trainer-talk] Seeking Info on Trainers to be Mentioned During my Next Users' Group Call

[David Goldfield]

Hello. I run a computer users' group, primarily (though not exclusively) 
for blind computer users in the Philadelphia area. During our next 
conference call, the topic will be resources to get help and computer 
training.
Of course, I'm going to focus on as many free resources as I can, such 
as the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk. However, I'm also interested in 
mentioning the names and contact information of individuals and 
organizations which are able and willing to provide remote training. I'm 
not interested in companies where the user is required to be there in 
person unless that company is located in Philly. However, if any of you 
might be interested in being mentioned on the call I would love to have 
your information. Most of my users are Windows users, the majority of 
them using JAWS. Of course, we also have many iOS users using iPhones.
If you provide training particularly on JAWS and iOS products I'd love 
to mention you. I'm also looking for people who are able to remotely 
assist in troubleshooting, such as my computer won't open such and such 
a program or I keep getting such and such errors when I try to perform 
XYZ. I realize this can be a challenging set of issues to troubleshoot 
remotely and, at times, providing remote assistance for such problems 
may be just about impossible, particularly if the computer is barely 
usable with speech.
If you'd like me to mention your services, please email me offlist with 
your name, company name if you have one, contact info, what services you 
provide and your rates.
Many years ago, Dean Martineau compiled such a list and the National 
Braille Press put it into a directory called "One on One." I think it's 
about time that we saw version 2 of that excellent resource. I think 
that I still have that book but, as it was written around the year 2000 
or so, much of what it contains is likely out of date.
