This is incorrect. I took a course where SPSS was required, and was accessible with jaws. the thing to keep in mind is that network administrators have to set a particular option. During initial set up, the program asks whether you want to enable screen reader mode. Once an admin says yes to this and completes the set up, the software works but not perfectly. However, most of the computations are accessible. this is as of SPSS 23.
