I’m sure that many people do not have time or energy to learn multiple screen access methods, owing to other responsibilities and interests. Finances can also play a part in this decision. People with multiple disabilities may have more problems learning one access product, let alone two or more. I believe most employers still stick with Windows and I haven’t heard rumblings of that changing in the foreseeable future.

I do agree with you since I’ve notice jaws doesn’t handle flash objects well in firefox. Curious to know what your thoughts are.
Thanks.

That’s tough because I know there is often scarcity of resources. We may not be able to get all manner of hardware into kids’ hands, but at least with software, it would be great to open more training opportunities for kids to be proficient at IE and Firefox and Chrome, etc. The only real training I feel I got growing up came from summer programs at the Texas School for the Blind, but out in the mainstream school districts it was enough to find good teachers to teach Braille and O&M. My point being, it’s harder for students to accept the benefits of learning multiple technologies if they’re raised only experiencing one line of products.
