Hi Charles, They probably could, but they won't. For one thing the rehab agencies are there to purchase equipment and software for a job or school and while a screen reader like Jaws is obviously necessary a game is much harder to justify. Plus some rehab counselors take a dim view of using the computer equipment they purchase for anything but work.. I've met a few blind people who have been specifically told that they are not to play games, movies, whatever on the PC since it was purchased for them for their job or college education. They seem to overlook the fact that computers are able to coexist with multimedia software as well as standard apps for work and school at the same time. Either that or it is just the principle of the thing they think since they purchased it for the clients job or college education he or she must only use it for that purpose which is pretty marrow minded. Although, I'm sure not all rehab counselors are quite that way.
