Hi Jackie
Do you happen to know Martin Griffiths, and Jackie Hall (both at
Humanware) are either of them blind, and if no do they Both know
Braille?
At the moment I think Martin will be be my trainer for The Braille
note DBC package.
Lucy Naismith did a demonstration here but that wasn't Very
successful, so Alan Davis came on another visit and he was Great with
his communication skills.
I was very impressed he even knows deafblind manual so there was No
need for an interpreter to assist.
Trying to keep on topic *smiles* do you thing there is a need For some
kind of formal qualification for trainers.
We don't let teachers in to a class rooms unless they Have the
relevant degree pass, but it seems anyone can Can call themselves
I.T trainer, or even a Jaws trainer.
A lot of money is paid out for training, and surely We need to
make sure those that t rain us, have the
Right skills to do it.
Regards, Derek
