I would suggest that as well as the Dock you investigate the status items. I am not sure what the OS command for bringing these up are but the Voiceover way is to press VO M twice. When I do this I bring up the following items. These are universal access, the status of my time Machine backups, my bluetooth signals, my Wifi connections and the system date and time. These are all items which would traditionally have been located in the notification area on a Windows system.
