Hello EASI people,

If you live around Atlanta, or can get there this week, you may be
interested in taking two, intensive courses that I will be teaching at the
RESNA Conference. This Thursday, take a half-day course on keyboard access
to Windows. And this Friday, take a full-day course on Macro Express.

KEYBOARD ACCESS TO WINDOWS: ADVANCED

Thursday 23 June 2005, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Synopsis: The ability to use Windows without a mouse is an essential skill
for assistive technologists. Keyboard techniques are indispensable for
individuals who have visual impairments; operate computers with a finger,
toe, head-pointer, or mouth-stick; have mouse-induced RSIs; and have certain
LDs.

This course takes participants beyond the basics to introduce intuitive --
and counterintuitive -- techniques that enable keyboard users with
disabilities to operate a PC more quickly, accurately and with less energy
expenditure. Topics include customizing the appearance and functioning of
Windows to improve its keyboard interface; creating global hotkeys; and
modifying applications to enhance keyboard access.

INTRODUCTION TO MACRO EXPRESS

Friday 24 June 2005, 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Synopsis: Running Windows without macro software is like cycling in the
mountains -- on a one-speed bicycle. Macros reduce the physical and mental
effort needed to operate a PC while multiplying speed and increasing
efficiency.

Learn to tap the power of Macro Express to create software solutions for
people with disabilities, including macros triggered by hotkeys, typed text,
mouse clicks, pop-up menus, and events. You will also make workarounds for
accessibility problems in mainstream products. No programming experience is
needed.

You will leave the workshop with a collection of functioning macros, and the
skills to develop new ones.

The registration fee is $145 the keyboard course, $200 for the Macro Express
course, and $300 for both. Reduced rates are offered to RESNA members,
students, and consumers: $120 for the keyboard course, $175 for the Macro
Express course, and $275 for both. Registration is first-come, first-served.
As of late last week, the Macro Express course was almost full. To register
