The huge problem with rehab departments is that many of them spend way under expected percentages on actual rehab. Lots of management ends up going to Conferences in aweful places like Honolulu Hawaii. Texas as an example could only provide slates styluses and braille paper for students since the state had not spent the rest of their budget correctly. I can't remember if it was Dialog Magazine or Mathilde Ziegler magazine that had the report on all the garbage happening around the country but am pretty sure it was one of them.On Wed, 27 Oct 2010, Scott Granados wrote: 


Well, with the budget cuts and the ressession are there any good well staffed 
rehab departments?  Even years ago the rehab department in CT was substandard.  
They had excelent education services for school children but once you got out 
you were in the soup pretty quickly.

Hi Scott:
Denver Co, home of the lousy broncos and the lousier rehab department.  But 
hey, we do have some good computers here, and the best ones are still the 
Macs.:)

Heather:  I share your prospective.  I just met with a rehab counsellor who
insists that there's really no place for the Mac in the work world.  (she
also insists that since I'm doing ok with my Mac, I don't need a braille
display.  Guess that's what I get for trying topfunction and be a part of a
new solution.:)

This counsellor actually suggested I might want to move somewhere where they
have the money and clientele to afford to keep up with the new technologies.
She also basically said no one is going to pay me to do this kind of
exploration of helping discover and working toward of improvement of
alternative technologies.  So, I feel more and more like it's mac-vs-pc, and
conform to the old ways, or you're on your own.  Sorry for venting. Thanks
for reading.

Bill is responsible for that robot they call narrator and he claims

windows is accessible.  While our friends at Apple, actually have a real
screenreader built in to their system.  So, Bill is not doing anyone any
favors by making us, windows users,  go out an by screenreaders worth more
than their pc computers.  I want to put a blind fold over his eyes and make
him use his own computer with just narrator, I am sure he would not get very
far!  Also, anyone who has to use word 2010 with jaws, has to by another msa
or their job has too.  And the mac users with voiceover, cant use it at all.
So he is an easy target.  Otherwise, he would have wised up a long time ago
and had his own built in speech for windows but, he just does not care.  I
am starting to use open office and pages more and the msword does not matter
that much anymore.  Heather
