Offering top down, Better than Excellent (T) teaching and support, Fedora
Outlier, LLC, is not just another assistive technology provider. Through the
leadership of VaShaun Jones, president, and a collection of team members
scattered across the country, including Brie Rumery, junior partner, Fedora is
the first nationally recognized assistive technology firm specifically focused
on the array of accessible technologies made available by Apple. The team is
driven to educate, equip and empower the blindness community to integrate
assistive and accessible technologies into the classroom, the workplace and at
play.
Partnering with organizations like the Veteran's Administration, statewide
rehabilitation and disability services programs, and schools, as well as
directly with blind and low vision consumers themselves, Fedora Outlier
provides a variety of online resources, on-site workshops and instruction,
remote assistance and multimedia ebooks, such as the recent release, "The Old
Hat Guide to iPhone Accessibility," available through Apple's iBooks store on
April 15.
The book chronicles Brie's triumphs, tribulations and tears as she transforms
from being "scared to death" of her first iOS device, to a seasoned veteran of
this fully accessible touchscreen technology. Through funny stories, humbling
experiences and firsthand insight into the tips and tricks Brie used to master
her iOS device, "The Old Hat Guide to iPhone Accessibility" is an accessible
multimedia ebook experience, complete with audio and video demonstrations,
providing answers to the most commonly asked questions and frustrations new iOS
users have along the way.
