Thanks all,

I'm not too worried on providing resources on learning Talkback or on teaching it myself...this person is going to squeeze every last bit of eyesight they can and will likely not use Talkback until there is no choice.  

I've just been providing a list of apps that are useful for BVI in general.  The referral is probably as much of a "look this lady is blind and she holds a job and uses her tools effectively you can do that too”.  I am young enough (or look young enough) to be relatable and an almost-peer but give it a couple years and I’ll just be some old lady with too many cats.  Smile.

I've listed the following apps:
TapTapSee
Be My Eyes
IDEAL Money Reader
Cash Reader
Lookout for Google

Anything I'm missing?

I was told that Deque University has resources on using Talkback. I have not yet explored it so not sure what all is there, but you may want to look into it.

This has not prepared the individual for life after school.  This person doesn't really have a postsecondary plan (and graduation is in June).

I have limited resources really...the Hadley videos on using TalkBack, some random apps that work with Android, and things like that.  I don't personally use Android and have had a handful of requests for resources.  My searching hasn't really turned up much in the way of resources for good apps.
