If you have NVDA installed, give the page a try using that screen reader.
Even using Jaws 13, there are sites where NVDA will read elements that Jaws
fails to find. My guess is that the buttons that Jaws is having problems
were created using JavaScript. The Hadley folks should know better than
that, because screen readers and JavaScript do not play well together.
Let us know how you make out.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Buttons on a Website
To All Listers:
My counselor had suggested I take a online course from The Hadley School
for the Blind. I was able to access all of the information pretty well,
until it came to doing the actual lesson. Towards the bottom of the
lesson, there are two buttons. One says "Save Changes" and the other says
"Submit". My wife, who is sighted, informs me that these buttons are
there, as does the technical help person at the Hadley School. However,
JAWS does not read or recognize these buttons. I am using JAWS version
11, Windows Vista on a 32 bit system, and IE 9. The tech help desk is
researching the problem, but I was wondering if anyone on the list might
have some suggestions.
Many thanks.
Jerry
