[humanser] job questions

[JD Townsend]

Hello Lisa:

I braille labels for file folders to organize my resource hand-outs.  I like 
putting the labels upside-down on the back of the folders so that I can 
easily read them.

I scan many of my forms, then complete them with the client, saving each 
with a different file name, and then printing them out.  Usually my forms 
are quite similar to those other workers use, so whomever compiles them 
doesn't get too confused.  I usually use my braille notetaker, but a laptop 
could do the trick as well.  Thinking of why I like the braille device 
better, it is because there is no sound and my typing doesn't interrupt the 
conversation with the client.

I love that you are doing this work.  It exposes many folks to a competant, 
likable, working blind woman.  Excellent.

JD

Hi,

I'm looking for some ways to perform some aspects of my job. I'd really
appreciate hearing how you do similar tasks.



My sighted co-workers carry a large binder with community resources and a
box of forms. The binder is intended to be a quick reference for each team
member, including me. We encourage meeting participants to copy down the
information. Some of the forms are for meeting participants. They complete
most of the form and then we skim over the form to see if they need
something right away or see if they would like to talk. Also, when we go to
resource fairs we have a clipboard where interested individuals can provide
their email to sign up for our monthly newsletter.



In the office we use a program called, Relias. If you use JAWS and this
program I would like to understand how well JAWS works with Relias. I'm also
wondering what lingo, or how to explain the best way to format some of our
documents specific to the team I work with.



From,

Lisa Irving
