I think sometimes we get hung up on the word interaction. I have entered this thread late but actually with screen readers on \Windows systems we often have to interact. It is not called interaction so we do not recognise it as such. For example in a Windows save as dialogue you have to tab to

One other big deal with interacting is generally at the lowest level, you will be interacting with a text element at which you can spell the word or words even letter by letter and that is often impossible at upper levels of navigation. On 6/6/12, Mark BurningHawk Baxter markbaxte...@gmail.com

This is all true. Sometimes, no matter what you do, explaining the theory and coming up with a bunch of analogies simply does not get the proverbial light switch to come on. It has nothing to do with the trainer or the student's capabilities. There are just concepts that are difficult
