Hello:
I'm looking for advice from blind screen-reading AT instructors who
have taught low-vision users of magnification software. In general,
how difficult is it for a totally blind trainer to teach programs like
ZoomText or MAGic?

I've spoken with a couple magnification users who had trouble relating
to trainers who usually teach and know JAWS, NVDA or who couldn’t see
the screen. Some of them also feel like the broader assistive
technology field mostly caters to users of screen readers. How can we
bridge the gap?

Matthew
