<p class=MsoNormal>This Fall semester, one of the students whom I serve will be
taking the college Music Technology class. This class is housed in a Mac
lab where students use Finale, Pro Tools, and Pro Logic. This student
uses JAWS as her screen reader yet Freedom Scientific tells us that JAWS is not
compatible with Mac nor with Pro Logic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This student and I have already planned to have a reader/scribe
in class with her; however, she will need to learn these programs for the
course. Is it possible for her to use these programs? What do I
need to know to accommodate her appropriately? How does she need to
prepare herself? Do we need totally different software programs for her?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am not knowledgeable in music ed, but I am responsible for
providing her accommodations. Can any of you give me some
direction? I am currently researching the three programs via goggle and
their companies’ sites and support links….attempting to learn as
much as I can about these three program accessibilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Additionally, the course instructor and the music dept.
chair are currently on vacation and unavailable for me to learn more about what
this student needs to be able to do going in to the course and what the student
will be doing with these programs in the weeks of the class.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Meantime, time is passing and I need to organize effective
accommodations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Urgently seeking direction,<o:p></o:p></p>
