[nabs-l] Internships

[Amy Sabo]

	Hello sophia and all,

First of congratulations to the internship that you just got! I too am doing
an internship for the city of Denver and, have been there for 2 months so
far...

I started in july and, they had jaws already loaded on the computer that I'm
using. Because besides myself there 2 other blind people who are also
interning there and, use the software as well too.

I also had a internship last year for about 3 months or so and, I brought my
laptop to work which had jfw on it. Which worked out fine...

Thanks for sharing and, I will talk to you all soon.



Hugs,
amy

Hello

Has anyone had an internship or short-term job (such as a summer job) that
required extensive computer use (such as browsing the internet, using Word
and other basic programs)? How did this work out in terms of using assistive
technology such as screen readers like Jaws? Did you arrange to use your own
computer, use the demo mode of a software or carry a USB version of the
software?

I'm just wondering what experiences anyone has had using assistive
technology when the job is only short-term since adjusting company computers
with software may not be practical.

Thanks!
