[NFBCS] Accessibility of PacketTracer

[Cook, Avery B]

Good Morning al!

I hope this email finds your week going well! I am the Accessibility Services Coordinator at St. Cloud Technical & Community College and I am working with a student who is blind and has started in our Cybersecurity program this semester.

I was hoping to reach out to this amazing brain trust of professionals to see if anyone has any experience working with a software called PacketTracer through Cisco. The student has been having trouble with their screenreader using this software. The folks at Cisco have assured us that things are fully accessible, but we are still finding hiccups.

In summary, the instructions in PacketTracer work with the student's screen reader but the command line window to configure in PacketTracer is full not working with the screen reader.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to best support this student?

Thank you for your time!
AC

Everyone processes information in different ways and often at different times than what we think of as typical. We now often work at a digitally-enabled relentless pace, which can disrupt our ability to sleep enough, eat right, exercise, and spend time with the people that matter most. I am sending you this email at a time that works for me. I only expect you to respond to it when convenient to you.
