Hello to the DuxUser community!
My name is Saaqib Mahmood; I'm a visually impaired person from Abbottabad,
Pakistan, with an MPhil in Mathematics and working as a mathematics lecturer at
a mainstream college run by the local provincial government.
The Pakistan Association of the Blind (PAB) is looking forward to starting a
one-year Diploma in Information Technology (DIT) program for the blind students
at their national Resource and Training Center (RTC) in Karachi.
This DIT program, administered by the Sindh Board of Technical Education
(SBTE), includes courses such as programming in C, VB.Net, and JAVA; web page
designing and creation in HTML and other allied tools; and similar other
high-tech courses in the field of computer science and information technology.
I would be happy to send you the complete course outline.
Is there any precedent of blind people taking and successfully completing such
courses with the help of screen reading software such as JAWS and NVDA?
If so, then can you put me in touch with any individual or organisation who can
provide us technical support as and when we need?
Regards.
Yours Faithfully,
