<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=171452419-10102007>Could you
check to see what accommodations can be given for someone with epilepsy, who
can get seizures by using a normal computer even with a screen filter.
Perhaps someone from Crystal Vision or Kurzweil or even one of your
listserves will have some suggestions or know of equipment.
Thanks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><SPAN class=171452419-10102007><FONT face=Verdana size=2>My research
included: The American Epilepsy Foundation, Epilepsy Ontario, W3C, Section
508.gov, Scientific American, Science Daily, National Society for Epilepsy (UK),
Epilepsy Action (UK), Usability.gov, Job Accommodation Network, and WebAIM.org .
>From what I gathered from these sites is that a high-quality LCD, flat panel
monitor and coupling that with a glare screen should not induce seizures. When I
suggested this solution the student was pretty adamant that this would not work
for her. This student is not visually-impaired and suggesting JAWS with the
monitor turned off seems to be a bit more than it should although this student
is certainly welcome to learn the program. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=171452419-10102007><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I wonder also
about taking classes in rooms where more and more computers are being deployed
and not just for CompSci classes; and how this seizure disorder will affect her.
