>Technology is in a constant state of flux.  New devices, software, 
>and services are being implemented by business and education on what 
>seems like a daily basis. Blind and low vision users need access to 
>these same technologies in order to compete with their sighted 
>peers. Access technology vendors are constantly working to help 
>consumers meet these needs.  With the challenges come opportunities 
>for users, and the people who train and support them.  This 
>two-and-a-half-day seminar is designed to provide trainers and 
>content creators with the information they need about these powerful 
>tools to ensure that their blind and low vision users can succeed in 
>their endeavors.  To meet this goal, the training will provide 
>hands-on involvement with:
>
>    * Screen access software
>    * Braille
>    * DAISY eBooks
>    * Tactile graphics creation
>    * Apple's iDevices
>    * Mac computers
>    * Notetakers
>    * Low vision solutions
>    * Other tools
>
>Don't miss this opportunity to learn from experts in the access 
>technology field, experience the latest in the industry, and visit 
>the largest showcase of blindness technology in the United States.
