Hi
Any chance of teaching the Mac computer commands for accessing CELA? I find most posts are geared to PC and I have a Mac.
Thanks

Hi Ida;
In both CELA presentations Aug 12 and 19 I tried to emphasize the CELA web site organization and functionality over screen reader instructions so hopefully you can still benefit by following the podcast on a MAC computer. That said we will look through our GTT member list to see if there is a MAC user qualified to do a CELA presentation from a MAC screen reader perspective. Thanks for commenting.
Gerry
