The DC Technology Network

People from Washington DC who are passionate about the Web and technology

Brigid Doherty, Metro System Orientation Specialist, talks about orientation and mobility on Metro Rail and Metro Bus. Ray Raysor from Randolph Sheppard talks about the Blind Vending Program and his experience in the community of people with disabilities in Washington DC.

Saturday Technology Training Sessions are held on the first and third Saturdays of each month, from 1 pm to 4 pm in the second floor west lobby at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, 901 G Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20001. The meetings are a chance for people who use Adaptive Technologies to get together and share information, learn about Technologies like the JAWS ScreenReader and ZoomText ScreenMagnifier which make the computer accessible to people who are blind or have low vision, and hear demonstrations of new Adaptive Technologies and Services. Some examples of demonstrations from past sessions include accessible cell phones, Dancing Dots Music software, PeaPod online grocery ordering service, and Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind. For more information, please contact: Patrick Timony, Adaptive Technology Coordinator, Adaptive Services Division, (202) 727-1335 or patrick.timony@dc.gov.
