Hi Alexis, Silly question but have you every considered hiring blind people to do this job? They would be your best advocate and the most knowledgeable! Thanks for your consideration, Becky Rieken ESU #1 Vision Consultant 211 Tenth Street Wakefield, NE 68784 (402) 287-2061 brieken@esu1.org Gallop Strengths Finder: Harmony, Consistency, Developer, Empathy, and Learner > On Mar 5, 2021, at 6:55 AM, Read, Alexis via AERNet <aernet@lists.aerbvi.org> wrote: > > > From: "Read, Alexis" <Alexis.Read@dbs.fldoe.org <mailto:Alexis.Read@dbs.fldoe.org>> > Subject: [AERNet] Time frame for JAWS instruction for sighted people > Date: March 5, 2021 at 6:55:07 AM CST > To: "aernet@lists.aerbvi.org <mailto:aernet@lists.aerbvi.org>" <aernet@lists.aerbvi.org <mailto:aernet@lists.aerbvi.org>> > > > Good morning, > > I was asked by someone how long it would take sighted people who are in the information technology field to get up to speed on using JAWS to surf websites and assess for accessibility. They would need to audit the site and know how to fix bugs. The person asking me would like for me to teach these students the basics of JAWS with this end goal in mind. Knowing that information, what would be an estimated length of time for this class? If this would be helpful, the class would have 3 to 5 students and would probably take place over Zoom or Teams. Please feel free to respond off list if that would be preferable. > > Thank you, > > Alexis Read, CVRT > Human Services Program Consultant I > Florida Department of Education > Division of Blind Services > 1809 Art Museum Drive Suite 201 > Jacksonville, FL 32207 > Phone: (904) 348-2730 > Fax: (904) 348-2737 > E-mail: alexis.read@dbs.fldoe.org <mailto:alexis.read@dbs.fldoe.org> > > > > You are subscribed to AERNet, The Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired Listserv. > > To post a message to all the list members, send an email to aernet@lists.aerbvi.org <mailto:aernet@lists.aerbvi.org>. > > Address list requests to: aernet-request@lists.aerbvi.org <mailto:aernet-request@lists.aerbvi.org> > > To unsubscribe from this list, go to http://lists.aerbvi.org/mailman/listinfo/aernet_lists.aerbvi.org <http://lists.aerbvi.org/mailman/listinfo/aernet_lists.aerbvi.org> and follow instructions to unsubscribe.
