I would like to just take a moment to mention something about advocacy. It is the responsibility of the organization and software developer to make their software accessible. Please notify both that they have an application that is not accessible on a 'no-cost' solution, that is open source. Most on-line universities are using software platforms that are not tested on safari. They will test 3 different web browsers on a Windows OS, but not even one on Mac. Firefox frequently works, but I've not spent enough time in Firefox with VoiceOver. I think this is a major issue nationally. How much more convenient would it be for content to be offered in an accessible format online? In a technological world we can level the playing field in far more dynamic ways.
I put a response in there, but I'll put my soapbox away now.
