[Trainer-Talk] jaws beginner training resources

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,
There are good reasons to describe and teach the layout of the screen. So, 
toward that end are there tactile graphics out there  for this purpose other 
than the windows 7 book sold by NBP?
I know of that  source already.

Ashley

Thankyou.  I am not good enough at that.I might even invest in some tactual 
graphics so people can "feel" the layout of the screen.

I think this helps not only for those who have lost vision later on in life, 
but for most blind students who will be interacting with sighted users. I 
often tell my grate  grandma  "click the start button in the bottom left” 
(she is not technologically advanced, it’s not a computer to her but a 
confuser) and it helps me taler communicating computer skills with people 
who wouldn’t normally use the keyboard.
