Greetings,
 I was told that NaturalReader works with the on-line COMPASS tests.
I am not able to use any control with NaturalReader
since COMPASS takes over the whole screen. If you
are able to do this, can you let me know?  Thanks.

Hello all,
I am trying to see if there is a site that has textbooks available in a
format that will support importing into Kurzweil so a student can see and
read the book.  Or, any functional alternative.  Thank you in advance for
any advice, suggestions or <smile>

I am hoping there is an easier way than scanning in the textbooks.  Am I a
dreamer :) ?

Hi, All - I just released a blog post on the recent Google Apps improvements in accessibility for the visually impaired, including a guesstimate from NFB's legal counsel on when its remaining concerns along those lines might conceivably be resolved.

Norm, 


I have been using Chrome with NVDA and I run into issues with links quite often. They either don't work or when I navigate through links it skips links on the page. I also have had issues navigating the chrome tools and menu items. I can run the same pages in FireFox without an issue.

Norm, 

Google Chrome isn't very accessible. It uses WebKit. I've heard WebKit renders pages as images. The only WebKit browser which works with screen readers that I know of is Safari.

I have heard of a project called ChromeVox which is a screen reader add-on for chrome but don't know how well it works.

If you are using the Chrome web browser, then you get the best 
screen-reader interaction by using ChromeVox, a screen-reader add-on for 
the Chrome web browser.

ChromeVox does a decent job on most web pages and, in particular, on 
Google-based pages (Google Docs, etc.).  You can install ChromeVox from 
the following page:
http://code.google.com/p/google-axs-chrome/

Google has also set up a tutorial for learning how to use ChromeVox to 
interact with Web pages.  ChromeVox is different from Windows-based 
screen-readers.  If anything, it is more closely related to how 
VoiceOver works on a Mac.  The tutorial does a good job at covering how 
to use ChromeVox:
http://google-axs-chrome.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/chromevox_tutorial/index.html

Take care,
sean

Subject: [Athen] Update - (ICT) guidelines and standards in the rulemaking
Message-ID: <4E92B4E6.1869.00F8.1@sbcc.edu>

FYI

t its July 13, 2011 meeting, the Access Board approved a motion to
place the latest draft of the Information and Communications
Technologies (ICT) guidelines and standards in the rulemaking docket
once the Board*s ad hoc committee completed its work on the draft,
which was expected to be the end of September. The Board approved this
motion to facilitate collecting cost information and promote
harmonization with standards efforts in Europe. Unfortunately, our work
was not completed when we expected.

However, work will be completed before the Board*s next meeting in
November. Therefore, the staff will be asking the Board to approve the
next version of the ICT rulemaking on November 9. The next version will
be an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; a public comment period
will be provided on the ANPRM. This ANPRM will make changes in content
and structure from the first ANPRM that was issued in March 2010. If the
ANPRM is approved by the Board on November 9, we expect that it will be
published in the Federal Register and made available on our website and
Regulations.gov in early December.

Hello,

Thought I'd share this resource written by Eric Stoller, appearing on the
Inside Higher Ed website. Some good resources which I'd encourage you to
share with your campus IT colleagues
http://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/student_affairs_and_technology/online_accessibility_resources.

On a side-note, I think it's great that the upcoming Educause conference
is featuring quite a few sessions on accessibility. Congrats to Terry
Thompson and the folk in the Educause IT Accessibility Constituent Group.

Jennison

National Federation of the Blind and Penn State  Resolve Accessibility Complaint

Baltimore, Maryland (October 11, 2011): 


The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) announced 
today that they have reached an agreement that will resolve a complaint 
filed against Penn State by the NFB with the United States Department of 
Education, Office for Civil Rights.  There was no admission of any 
wrongdoing.

Penn State has agreed to continue implementing a strategy to make all 
electronic and information technology systems used on its campuses fully 
accessible to blind students, faculty, and staff.  The information 
technology systems covered include course management systems, Web sites, 
classroom technology, library resources, banking services, and more.  
University Spokesman Lisa Powers said that Penn State strives to 
maintain strong academic leadership and has a long record of providing 
equal access to educational information and services for all students, 
faculty, and staff.

Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, 
said: "Universities must commit to making sure all of the technology 
that they use is accessible to blind students, or else the blind will be 
left behind in education and denied opportunity.  We are pleased that 
Penn State, one of the largest and most recognized public universities 
in the country, has agreed to take additional steps to create an 
environment of equality in which blind students can pursue their 
educational and career aspirations without unnecessary barriers.  The 
National Federation of the Blind hopes and believes that the steps that 
Penn State is taking will set an example for colleges and universities 
throughout the nation."

"For more than twenty years Penn State has provided assistive 
technologies to students, faculty, and staff," Powers said.  "We will 
work with the National Federation of the Blind and the Department of 
Education, Office of Civil Rights, to put in place the additional 
technologies, procedures, and ongoing policies that will help us 
continue meeting our strong commitment to access."

The university has had a number of policies and programs in place to 
help individuals with disabilities, such as a classroom note-taking 
service, textbooks and course materials in electronic format, technology 
assistance, and adjustments in testing procedures, to name just a few.  
The university has a longstanding policy of providing reasonable 
accommodations to anyone requesting assistance.

"We can always do more," Powers said.  "In addition to any continued 
adjustments to our policies, we also are working with our outside 
vendors to see if their products and procedures can be adjusted to meet 
the needs of our students."

Russlynn Ali, assistant secretary for civil rights, with the U.S. 
Department of Education, said: "Colleges and universities have specific 
legal obligations to provide students, faculty, and staff with 
disabilities the same benefits, programs, and services.  This office is 
committed to working with complainants and institutions to ensure that 
the important nondiscrimination provisions of this nation's laws are 
enforced and implemented."

FYI

 The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and Pennsylvania State
University announced today the resolution of the NFB's civil rights
complaint lodged with the U.S. Department of Justice against the
university for its alleged failure to provide an appropriately
accessible technology environment for students who are visually
impaired.

As stated in the NFB press release on the agreement, it  commits the
university to continued implementation of "a strategy to make all
electronic and information technology systems used on its campuses fully
accessible to blind students, faculty, and staff. The information
technology systems covered include course management systems, Web sites,
classroom technology, library resources, banking services, and more." Of
particular note, Penn State's spokerperson references the university's
plans to work with the companies that provide it with technology goods
and services "to see if their products and procedures can be adjusted to
meet the needs of our students."

Key components of the agreement include Penn State*s commitment to:

    * Conduct a full accessibility audit of its complete technology
environment in relation to the visually impaired by February 15, 2012
    * Establish an Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Policy
Statement to guide the development of its accessibility strategy, with
procedures to fully implement the policy *across all disciplines*
developed by May 30, 2012
    * Implement institution-wide *training, instruction, and
support* on the EIT Accessibility Policy and procedures by August
15, 2012
    * **develop and institute procedures that require the University
to purchase or recommend only EITs that will provide the same programs,
benefits, and services that they do to individuals without disabilities,
except that when it is technically unfeasible to do so,** by October
15, 2102

Unfortunately while progress this settlement reflects once again a partial
agreement to benefit one class of individuals with disabilities, and most
likely at the expense of other classes.

Does anyone have any experience with Matlab by Mathworks and have familiarity with its current level of accessibility?  Their documentation on with regard to screen reader accessibility seems a bit outdated having last tested it on JAWS 5, 6, and 7.

 

This is a link to their accessibility page:

Subject: Request for participation in senior thesis survey from Kevin Mintz

      To: kmintz@fas.harvard.edu<mailto:kmintz@fas.harvard.edu>



Dear Student:



I am a senior at Harvard College majoring in Government and conducting my senior thesis research on the barriers students with severe physical and sensory disabilities encounter as they attempt to acquire the equal access to postsecondary education guaranteed to them under federal law.  Regardless of abilities, most students face challenges in their academic course work after high school.  Yet students with disabilities often face additional obstacles because of unique limitations arising from their conditions.  As a student with a physical disability, I have faced many challenges in my own pursuit of a college degree.  My research is motivated by the obstacles I have faced.



I am writing to you to invite you to participate in my study.  Doing so would require you to complete a 20 to 30-minute online survey about your experiences as a student with a disability at a postsecondary institution.  The survey will also ask about your experiences with certain federal and state government agencies that are designated to support students with disabilities pursuing postsecondary education.  In order to participate, you must be a student with a physical, mobility, visual, or hearing impairment, age 18 or older, and currently attend a postsecondary institution.  The survey is designed to be accessible to those who use a screen reader.  At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you would like to participate in an interview which will provide you with an opportunity to share your experiences in greater detail.

As a token of appreciation for your participation in the online survey, a $10 gift card from Amazon.com will be sent to your email address.



If you feel comfortable doing so, please forward this message to as many as five additional students who you feel may be eligible to participate.  Please carbon copy kmintz@fas.harvard.edu<mailto:kmintz@fas.harvard.edu> on any such invitations so that I can keep track of the recruitment process.



By participating in this survey, you will not only be helping me complete my senior thesis but will have the opportunity to make a contribution to a piece of research that will hopefully inform scholars and policy makers about the challenges students with physical and sensory disabilities face as they work to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become contributing members of their communities.



If you agree to participate, you can enter the following url directly into your web browser: https://harvard.psr.keysurvey.com/survey/384846/1731/.



Thank you for your support.



Sincerely,



Kevin Mintz, A.B. Degree Candidate

Harvard College Class of 2012

Hello All:

Yahoo has cancelled their plan to present the pre-conference lab "Building
the next generation of accessible web sites with ARIA and HTML5," kind of
last minute unfortunately. I don't want to cancel the session because folks
have already signed up for it.

Anyone out there interested or able to take on this hands-on lab? Or have
any suggestions for replacements?

Thanks,

Good afternoon!

A first-year Engineering student came to me a short while ago. She has learning disabilities. She asked me to try to find internship opportunities for next Summer doing engineering work on assistive technologies. She prefers opportunities in either Pittsburgh, PA or Boston. However, I suspect she will be interested in internships anywhere.

Does anybody have suggestions?

Thank you!

Message-ID: <CAJL_eQBGTXZ6k40SgAAvKdQqs-Nk4p6yKER9vaB-V6h5Y-5GuQ@mail.gmail.com>

Higher education institutions are trying to ascertain the
accessibility of the Google Apps suite and the impact it will have on
their campuses. The Access Technology Higher Education Network (ATHEN)
conducted accessibility evaluations, covering multiple types of
disabilities, on Google Documents in order to provide campuses as much
information as possible. The evaluations revealed that while work had
been done to improve the accessibility for screen reader users, there
are significant shortcomings for both screen reader users and people
with other types of disabilities requiring different assistive
technologies. The evaluations cover visual, mobility, learning, and
cognitive disabilities. The report may be read online at

http://athenpro.org/google-docs-accessibility

or can be downloaded as a PDF at

http://athenpro.org/system/files/ATHENGoogleAppsReport2011-10-18.pdf

ATHEN will continue its work by performing additional evaluations on
other applications within the Google Apps suite.

Any questions or comments about this report can be directed to Greg
Kraus (greg_kraus@ncsu.edu), Coordinator of the ATHEN Google Apps
Accessibility Interest Group.

It would need to be someone like a product manager or technical lead.
There is a (rather large) company that needs this information in order

Does anyone know a contact at Nuance who could answer some questions about
how Dragon interacts with applications at the API and OS level?
It would need to be someone like a product manager or technical lead.
There is a (rather large) company that needs this information in order to
make their product work with Dragon. Any help you can give will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.

Ken,

I don't know if your colleague needs text to speech also, but there is an iPhone/iPad app called Assistive Chat that allows you to type text on a screen and have the TTS read it out loud.  It also does word prediction and allows you to save text for recall and repetition later.  It's about $25. www.assistiveapps.com<http://www.assistiveapps.com>

Good morning Valerie,

Below is more information regarding MPlus and its uses within the department.  They are requesting 10 licenses within the $2864 amount On the SCF proposal.  Let me know if you or the committee need additional information.


*         General description of it and what you use it for.



A: Mplus is a statistical software package designed to conduct latent variable modeling similar to that of AMOS, but with wider capabilities. For instance, while AMOS can only handle continuous data, Mplus has the advantage of being able to analyze binary and categorical data in a latent-variable context. The software is also used in psychometric analyses, and is featured in texts on psychometrics, that, if we have access to the software, we could then teach from. Overall, having Mplus would benefit the department in that students could have access to one of the latest cutting-edge statistical programs that is specialized to conduct particular advanced analyses that SPSS (and even SAS) cannot do.





*         Is it used in a lab or classroom? (I know it's for psyx 222, 520, 521, 522)



A: The software would be used both in class and in lab for courses such as Psyx. 522 and Psyx. 524. More than that, the software would be used for students' dissertations, etc., who wish to learn a popular statistical package and reap the benefits of it. Having a couple copies of Mplus would add to our capabilities to conduct higher analyses in these courses, as well as for students to have more options when it comes to data analyses for theses and dissertations. If I mention the software in class, and discuss the code for a particular analysis, I want students to know there is a copy downstairs in the lab that they can try these analyses on. Having "Mplus knowledge" (or at least exposure) on one's CV is a very attractive marketing feature for students who may go on to teach quantitative courses.



*         How many students do you think uses it?



                A: I usually have approx. 5 to 8 students enrolled in Psyx. 522, and another 10 or so enrolled in Psyx. 524. Any or all of these students would have access to it, at least as a means of trying out procedures that are listed in textbooks, etc., Regarding dissertations, I suspect fewer students would use it, but at least we'd have a copy or two available should they venture in that direction. In the structural equation modeling field, there are generally 4 very popular packages: 1) AMOS, 2) EQS, 3) Lisrel, and 4) Mplus. Having AMOS and Mplus "on board" in the department extends students' quantitative options for data analyses, and in particular, the *types* of data analyses that can be performed.

Take care!

Assistive Chat can save up to 40 recent sentences.  However, I'm not sure how many commonly used sentences/responses it can store.  You might want to check with the company on that one.

Good luck,

Hi all, there seems to be some confusion on memberships.  

ATHEN membership period runs from AHG conference to AHG conference, so if
you are paying your current membership that will be in effect on Thursday of
the AHG conference.  If you did not pay your dues last year then you will
not be able to vote.   

We have also discovered that there is a discrepancy for Intuitional
memberships between the list Sean used to build the election database and
the list that Heidi has.  We are working through this, and have put a short
term fix in place.

Message-ID: <6.0.3.0.2.20111028080306.08ed6130@pop.gmail.com>

Creating Accessibility for online learning

Starting Monday, November 7, EASI's Barrier-free E-learning course will 
explore how online courses can be made more accessible without instructors 
having to learn HTML code or struggle through a lot of technical jargon. It 
can be much easier than you think. Faculty can use features already built 
into the authoring tools they use every day to create a level learning 
space for all their students.

This course is taught entirely online and is delivered using the Blackboard 
LMS delivery system.  Students can study from anywhere and at any time of 
the day. The instructor, Norm Coombs, has been teaching online for over 25 
years.

Barrier-free lesson topics are:
    * Week 1: Accessible Online Learning Is a Three-legged Stool
    * Lesson 1: Introduction to Online Learning
    * Lesson 2: Online Learning and Students with Disabilities
    * Week 2: Using Tools You Already Use and Know
    * Lesson 3: Creating Accessible Content With MS Office
    * Lesson 4: Creating Accessible Content With PowerPoint
    * Week 3: Going Beyond Authoring with MS Office
    * Lesson 5: Accessible Content for Science Technology and Math
    * Lesson 6: Creating Accessible Content Using Multimedia
    * Week 4: Pulling It All Together
    * Lesson 7: Putting Content Online and Checking Its Accessibility
    * Lesson 8: Supporting and Managing Online Accessibility

The recommended text for the course is:

Making Online Teaching Accessible (available from Amazon and an accessible 
version from bookshare.org)



Those who register for Barrier-free E-learning in November 2011 will 
receive a bonus pamphlet:

Ten Tips for Online Teachers

Students from overseas and EASI Annual Members receive a 20% discount on 
the registration fee of $350.

(There is also a scholarship available for those who cannot procure funding 
from their institution. http://esi.cc/scholarship.htm)

to be a lethal combination but would love to think it was accessible.  I
could not find a VPAT or any information about any scripts for JAWS.

> Creating Accessibility for online learning
>
> Starting Monday, November 7, EASI's Barrier-free E-learning course will
> explore how online courses can be made more accessible without instructors
> having to learn HTML code or struggle through a lot of technical jargon. It
> can be much easier than you think. Faculty can use features already built
> into the authoring tools they use every day to create a level learning
> space for all their students.
>
> This course is taught entirely online and is delivered using the Blackboard
> LMS delivery system.  Students can study from anywhere and at any time of
> the day. The instructor, Norm Coombs, has been teaching online for over 25
> years.
>
> Barrier-free lesson topics are:
>    * Week 1: Accessible Online Learning Is a Three-legged Stool
>    * Lesson 1: Introduction to Online Learning
>    * Lesson 2: Online Learning and Students with Disabilities
>    * Week 2: Using Tools You Already Use and Know
>    * Lesson 3: Creating Accessible Content With MS Office
>    * Lesson 4: Creating Accessible Content With PowerPoint
>    * Week 3: Going Beyond Authoring with MS Office
>    * Lesson 5: Accessible Content for Science Technology and Math
>    * Lesson 6: Creating Accessible Content Using Multimedia
>    * Week 4: Pulling It All Together
>    * Lesson 7: Putting Content Online and Checking Its Accessibility
>    * Lesson 8: Supporting and Managing Online Accessibility
>
> The recommended text for the course is:
>
> Making Online Teaching Accessible (available from Amazon and an accessible
> version from bookshare.org)
>
>
>
> Those who register for Barrier-free E-learning in November 2011 will
> receive a bonus pamphlet:
>
> Ten Tips for Online Teachers
>
> Students from overseas and EASI Annual Members receive a 20% discount on
> the registration fee of $350.
>
> (There is also a scholarship available for those who cannot procure funding
> from their institution. http://esi.cc/scholarship.htm)
