Tony that sounds fantastic. How would I find out about such a service in Castleknock please? Who should I contact? Is it only for evening classes or for other things? ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 12:21 AM Subject: [vip_students] Re: sorting John, Sorry for jumping in here! Now I wonder where you live? Reason for asking. Where I live in Lucan they have a transport for people who are disabled or visually-impaired. Perhaps check locally your area and they may have similar. I don't need that service much but when I do it's excellent. There is a charge but a lot less than you would pay in a taxi I assure you. Anyone say now that this is off topic I surely will scream!

I found it very helpful. I'd like to do the ECDL or similar. I'm not a morning person, so night classes would suit me. Transport is another bugbear for me. So if FAS could spring for a taxi, that would be great. A computer with JAWS at the centre is a must. But I suppose I could get portable JAWS on one of those USB thumb drives if I had to. I not too keen on the idea of someone reading out the exam questions to me, but I suppose I could live with it. One question, though: how about homework? Is the course material on your home computer JAWS compatible? Or do you sometimes need someone at home to help you out? Oh, and how many classes do you have a week and how many hours of homework do you do every week? Sorry for all the questions and thanks again for your input, yours, John. PS: Thanks for signing up!
