Kate,
Sounds like you need to get hold of the Access To Work scheme through your
local Job Centre. They do the assessment of your requirements and will
often provide adaptive equipment too.
regards, Mark

Subject: [access-uk] Assessment of software to be used in new employment
Hi, I have subscribed to this list as I have just been offered a new job
which would involve using at least one non-standard program that has been
developped in-house by the company and doesn't seem to immediately interface
with JAWS 5.0.
I am aware that I may be able to have scripts written to resolve the issue
and I have already contacted someone about this, but what would be useful is
for someone who has a good knowledge of all the access technology available
to come and give myself and the company an assessment of what else might be
available to assist me in getting access to everything which I need to in
this new job.
I have been in my current job for four years, using Jaws and Kurzweil and
Duxbury, so I know these are available. I am not completely up on the
latest in access technology and don't want to be missing out on anything
that could make my life easier in the new job. In particular, I am wondering
if a braille display might help get round the issues I'm currently having
with the bespoke software.
Can anyone point me in the direction of providers of this sort of assessment
service? I know S&S may be able to help but are there any other suggestions?
Thanks, take care all
Kate
