[Trainer-Talk] Using NVDA with K-12 students

[Mabry, Jessie]

Hi everyone,

I am interested in hearing from any of you who train children using NVDA and/or Jaws. I'd like to hear your opinions on the advantages or disadvantages of using NVDA, rather than Jaws, in educational settings when it comes to, for example, teachability, use with on-line textbooks or standardized tests, verbosity in Office applications, etc. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thank you,
