Hello Suzanne,

Rumors are rampant regarding BB and its accessibility. I do know that the most 
recent versions of the program have improved accessibility, but participating 
in discussion threads (often required) is still difficult, no matter what 
screen reader one uses. 

If I learn anything new, I will communicate it to you.  I lost a semester of 
graduate level studies at an American university because of this issue.

I do have a lot of information but won't share it with the list since it goes 
beyond the scope of VO and the Mac.  However, I can put you in touch with the 
BB accessibility team (great people) if you wish.

Best regards from Central Europe,

Mike
