I don't know how I missed this coming down the pipeline. Does anyone here know what has happened with ATN? Is it just gone forever? Is it's operation changing hands? Feeling more than a little stressed. Would love any information anyone knows about this. Thanks, Laura Lewis ...

Or is it just a caption track playing over the video? I'd love any information you may have. We recently had our captioning expert leave and ...

Thank you for the feedback you have given so far. I realize this is unlikely. Is anyone aware of a more accessible alternative to Photoshop that might be easier for someone to use with screen magnification software? It is my understanding this student is using MS Magnifier as his preferred AT. Laura ...

I'm hoping to mine your collective wisdom. We have a student who is blind. They initially requested accessible PDF versions of their textbooks for use with VoiceOver.
