I actually am very interested in this topic. I have been thinking
about approaching my regional mac company about a position with them
where I promoted Apple products to employers and organizations that
purchase and or use adaptive equipment. I would like to serve as sort
of their accessibility specialist. I would introduce Apple products as
a solution for accommodating persons with disabilities, help them find
the products that best meet their needs, and then provide the training
for the equipment they purchased. In my mind,there is no-one better
to promote a product than someone that uses it. I am very interested
in this topic, so please keep me in the loop on this subject.
