<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We just found out that we have a student who is blind who is planning on taking an Excel 2010 course next month. I’ve not met the student yet, but our disability advisor reports that she is a Braille and JAWS user. However, it sounds like
she is not very proficient with JAWS or any other technology. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a good many resources on how to create more accessible Excel 2010 spreadsheets as well as a list of keystrokes. I’m wondering if anyone has advice that I could pass along to the instructor on how to teach Excel with a student who
is blind in the class? Or, do you have any ideas that I could pass along to the student on how to get more familiar with JAWS and Excel? I know that Freedom Scientific usually has some training materials online, but I haven’t been able to locate what I was
looking for yet. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure what version of JAWS the student has on her personal computer, but she’ll be using JAWS 14 in the computer classroom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much for any insight you may have! Have a wonderful weekend,<o:p></o:p></p>
