However, if using another application is not an option, I may have a solution for the student to try. I have not used spss or anything like it before, so I am unfamiliar with the operation and user experience with this program and JAWS, but if most of the content and controls are accessibly labeled, (meaning JAWS can read them correctly) then, the student might be able to navigate the interface using the Touch Cursor in JAWS. The command to activate the Touch Cursor is Shift+NumPad Plus. When the Touch Cursor is activated, the student can navigate the screen using the left and right arrows on the keyboard, then activate elements using Enter. The Touch cursor allows users to explore/navigate content similarly to using a touch screen with the swipe gesture. The Touch Cursor can also make it possible to read static and dynamic text which can not be accessed by tabbing. While using the Touch Cursor is not ideal, it may provide better access to spss for the student.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another possible solution might be using the Mouse Echo feature in JAWS. This allows users to read, navigate and interact with the computer using a physical mouse or touch pad. There is some basic information about using Mouse Echo at <a href="https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/topic/mouse_echo_layer/5051436">https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/topic/mouse_echo_layer/5051436</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I hope this was helpful.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tristen Breitenfeldt<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.freedomscientific.com/Certification"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=87 height=87 style='width:.901in;height:.901in' id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image003.png@01D854B8.567DF2C0" alt="JAWS Certified, 2019"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
