[blindlaw] Introduction and hello!

[Loren Wakefield]

Though I believe it is on the expensive side,  Freedom Scientific should
have a training bundle you can purchase to help you with Jaws.  They also
have a bundle for voiceover for IOS if you are needing that as well.

Subject: [blindlaw] Introduction and hello!

Hi all,

I wanted to say hello and introduce myself as I've been following the board
for several months now.  I have been getting useful nuggets of information
from the archives for a few months now, so thank you!

I practice employment counseling and litigation at McCarter & English in
Boston, MA.  BC Law class of 2003.  I learned I had retinitis pigmentosa one
year after I graduated from law school, which was a complete surprise, as no
one else in my family has it.  Legally blind since last fall, which again
was a surprise as I thought I had a good number of years to go before I
reached that point.  Trying to figure out how to use and get training for
JAWS while maintaining my practice.  Also trying to figure out how to do all
the things I ordinarily do in my practice (review paper documents!  Read
paper books!) and if it can still be done as efficiently and effectively as
before.  Anyone in the same boat or who has been through it before can feel
free to reach out though the board or offline.

All the best,
Kristy
