As I said I am gaging interest and we have approached Apple about what
would need to happen to make this work out. I will let everyone know
as we progress.

Greg,
I, for one, would love this opportunity. I want to be Apple
certified, and this would be a perfect chance for me to obtain what
I need to achieve that. Can you make it happen?

Iain Murrey of Curtin University in Perth and I have been
discussing an idea of training the blind and dyslexic to be
Macintosh systems administrators. Curtin University already offers
a course in Cisco administration for the blind ending with the the
student taking the Cisco exams.
Given that the Mac now has a built in screen reader in both MacOS X
and MacOS X Server we feel we could offer such training to the
blind and print disabled.
Curtin might offer courses leading to the various certifications
Apple offers. These courses would be tailored to the needs of blind
and dyslexic students, they would, for example have their training
materials in braille and recorded formats. Tests would be
administered in braille or orally and so on. As Curtin University
already has experience in this sort of training worldwide it would
seem to be the logical place to develop such training for the
disable.
So what do you think is this something for which there would be an
interest?
