Here's a tip for you, as well as other list members who has difficulty
filling out forms. Before even filling it out, use your screen reader's
virtual cursor to navigate the form so you get a feel of how the form's
laid out. That way, you should not bump in to any troubles like you
would if you just filled it out without knowing the layout. Once you've
filled it out, use your screen reader's virtual cursor again and
navigate the form to check that you've filled in the information in the
correct places. I do this all the time. Hope this tip is useful.
