[Athen] Accommodations for a course that requires the use of SPSS

[Berkowitz, Daniel]

Ken,

We have been working on this for ZoomText and have found solutions. 

You need to install the JAVA Access Bridge so that the two will work together. Rice University has very good instructions:
https://docs.rice.edu/confluence/display/ITTUT/Screen+reading+software+(JAWS)+for+SPSS+set+up+instructions

Though the version in the Rice instructions is 16, this should work just as well with version 18. 

Here is information on installing the bridge and accessibility at the Oracle website:

Hope this helps --- Dann

We have two clients they're taking classes using SPSS version 18. Both are Jaws users. What strategies have you developed for accommodations using a product that is not compatible with a screen reader.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Has anybody used R instead of SPSS? 

Cheers!
