Become A Part of the Flying Blind, LLC Apple Accessibility Initiative (AAI)

If you are an educator of vision impaired students or a professional who makes decisions regarding the technological journey of a vision impaired student, then the Apple Accessibility Initiative (AAI) is for you.

Are you excited about receiving iPads for your students but not sure what access features are available to ensure your students are independent, efficient, and on an equal playing field with their sighted peers? Would you like to know which iOS apps can make your students more proficient in a post-secondary education or competitive job market?

Well the Flying Blind, LLC AAI Professional Development Seminar can provide you with all of this, and much more. This Professional Development Seminar was designed for educators who have either received or are receiving portable iOS devices such as iPads, iPods, or iPhones which are to be used by their students.

The Apple Accessibility Initiative (AAI) Professional Development Seminar will:

Introduce you to all of the built-in low vision options available within these devices.	Unveil the robust screenreading access for speech users integrated into these devices.
Showcase QWERTY on-screen and wireless keyboard options for navigation and data entry.	Illustrate how refreshable Braille I/O transforms these devices into a "Portable Information Management System".

Once a framework for access to these devices has been established, attention will be redirected to the various applications, strategies, and methodologies that will allow you and your students to:

Search for and browse pertinent information.	Download and Read Books.
Manage and share information with others.	And explore a variety of games to play.

This seminar was designed to accommodate 15-20 educators at a time though it can be scaled to meet the needs of any number of participants. We are also willing to work with your staff or any other governing authority to make certain the completion of the AAI Professional Development Seminar is eligible for CEUs for all participants. The cost of the Seminar is USD$750 plus all pertinent travel expenses for Larry L. Lewis, Flying Blind, LLC's Founder, who will be personally conducting each seminar. As a special introductory offer we are reducing the cost of this seminar to USD$600 for any organization who commits to scheduling their AAI Professional Development Seminar prior to Saturday, March 31, 2012. You only need to schedule your AAI Workshop prior to Saturday, March 31, 2012 in order to receive the discount. Your actual Workshop may be delivered well after the Saturday, March 31, 2012 deadline.

Please know that Flying Blind, LLC is keenly aware of today's economic climate. It is our position that by offering the AAI Professional Development Seminar in its current comprehensive form we will save you far more time, energy, and money than if you were to attempt to integrate these solutions without the proven resources and information that have been built into this seminar.
