[nabs-l] is Active Inspire accessible?

You may want to negotiate with your teacher, Chris.  I don't 
think Active Inspire is accesssible.  If it's a program with a 
strange name, or if it's known to have problems like e-grade, 
Course Commpass, or even this thing, it may or may not be 
accessible.  I'd ask your voc rehab counselor or TVI.  Does your 
teacher have the book "Making It Work" by Carol Castellano?  I'm 
reading that book, and maybe there are some helpful hints the 
teacher might be able to read.

Subject: [nabs-l] is Active Inspire accessible?

Hi everyone,

I've just started 8th grade! My science teacher is using a
program called Active Inspire, which is part of the Permethian
software.  This is where she creates her flip charts that contain
all the activities and links to Web sites that we'll use on a
daily basis.  Does anyone know if this Active Inspire program is
accessible with JAWS? Are there any work-arounds that can help me
do everything independently without using a human reader (my lab
partner) when she's working on her own? Thanks for any help!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)
