Re: [AI] Some doubts regarding braille
Hi Ajay, Braille certainly becomes handy during ppts as you don’t have to hear and then speak. Also you are utilizing one more of your senses; touch. Listening and then speaking breaks the rhythm of the presentation. Learning Braille is not a big deal, but it takes time to use it speedily. Also it’s bulky, but great tool when you don’t want to be loaded with gadget all over your body. It gives me free mind and I speak better that way. Do learn it. Learning is never a waste. And yah, congratulations for your short listings. Good luck On 4/4/13, Pranav Lal wrote: > Hi Ajay, > > I cannot comment on the Nokia E5.

Re: [AI] FM Transmitter and wireless keyboard
Hi! You can use cordless headphone for this perpose. It comes with FM transmiter which you can tune to FM radio also. -Original Message- From: Syed Imran Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 3:35 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] FM Transmitter and wireless keyboard Hi, I love playing around with gadgets. Offlate I have this crazy idea of interacting with my desktop or laptop quite away from it, rather than sitting there at a table for a long time and getting back aches etc. I've been thinking of a cost-effective solution that I believe might work and somewhat reduce the number of hours spent sitting at the computer and still be able to interact with it at least at home. The solution that I have in my mind is to get an FM transmitter and plug it into the 3.5mm audio port of my computer, tune my FM radio to the frequency of the transmitter, and control my computer using a wireless keyboard. I have a foldable waterproof wireless keyboard and an FM radio. The maximum working range of the keyboard is up to 15 meters or 49 feet in radius. But the thing I'm worried about is how far does a typical FM transmitter work? Anyone using it? Do you have any other good alternatives to the above apart from suggesting me to take breaks frequently? I think an FM transmitter should not cost me more than INR.800. What do you think?

Re: [AI] Some doubts regarding Braille
Taken from the Braille monitor, April 2013 Dale, Gale, and Their Braille Tale by the NFB BELL Team I am Dale and I read Braille. I am Gale. What is Braille? Braille is dots, lots and lots. Each dot has its special spot. "Why read Braille?" inquires Gale. "I'd rather climb a mountain trail. Dale, these dots are hard to see. Large print is fine, so let me be." "I do not have vision, Gale. That is why I must read Braille." "Would you read Braille here or there?" "I could read Braille anywhere. O dear Gale, I love my Braille." "Would you read it in a house? Would you read it to a mouse?" "I do read it in my house. I do read it to my mouse. I do read Braille here and there. I do read Braille anywhere. O dear Gale, I love my Braille." "How about that silly print? Could you read it in a tent? Could you read it in the night? Could you read it without light?" "I could read Braille at the park! I could read Braille in the dark! I do read Braille here and there. I do read Braille anywhere. O dear Gale, I love my Braille!" "Would you read Braille in a box? Would you teach Braille to a fox?" "I could read Braille in a box. I couldn't teach Braille to a fox." "Why can't you teach it to a fox?" "He couldn't feel it through his socks. I could teach it to a girl. Hey, look at that, there goes a squirrel. We could read it in a tree. You could read Braille, don't you see? I do read Braille here and there. I do read Braille anywhere. O dear Gale, I love my Braille!" "My darling Dale, I think I see. Won't you teach that Braille to me! They tried to teach me in the school. But I told them it wasn't cool. But I was wrong and don't want to fail! I think it's time I learned my Braille! We do read Braille here and there! We do read Braille anywhere! Bumps and dots are cool to read.

Re: [AI] Disabled teen raped by cousin
Thanks Avinash for posting this news here. I have read it before and thought of sharing in this forum. As some of the list members may be aware that after lot of advocacy we have been able to include the issues pertaining to sexual assault on disabled women in our Criminal Law Amendment 2013 - few of us took lot of pain to see that this inclusion takes place.I was hoping that by posting this news here I can ask some groups/individuals of Maharastra can follow this case up and see that police is actually implementing the changes in law. Unless disability sector join hands with womens groups in following up such cases, how will disabled women get the justice?

[AI] Will voting process ever be disabled friendly?
As elections near, the disabled want better arrangements | EPS By Meera Bhardwaj New Indian Express: 02nd April 2013 http://newindianexpress.com/cities/bangalore/article1526143.ece Seven per cent of the population is physically challenged and out of this, nearly 3.5-4 per cent, who are eligible, want to participate in the forthcoming election process. However, there is a big question mark as far as their voting participation is concerned due to unfriendly policies and inaccessible polling booths in many parts of the city and state. If you have ever visited a voting booth anytime, you can see that there is either no place to sit or even stand and for the disabled, entering these places itself is a Herculean task and casting their votes without assistance is another difficult task. Elections are around the corner and poll fever has already caught up with aspirants and other sections of the people what with political parties burning the midnight oil to finalise their list of candidates. With Bangalore and rest of Karnataka witnessing a single day’s poll on the 5th of May, hectic days are on the anvil with many citizens running from pillar to post to get their voter ID card so as to exercise their franchise. But what about the disabled? Abhishek, who turned 18 this year, is frantically trying to get a voter ID card but it is a big task for him as he needs help to visit these centres. “With great difficulty and aided by my friends, I visited the centre, but could not get my card because of improper documentation. The centre had no ramp and I had to stand in the hot sun, which for me was a tough proposition. As it is, the authorities are least bothered about the rights of the disabled,” he said. Krishnamurthy, a bank employee rues the advent of the polling day as it is a nightmare standing and waiting with no place to sit or assistance to cast their votes. “It is a pain to even enter the booths as there are are no ramps and for me, to climb the big steps is pretty difficult. Some booths are located in hilly areas, some down in the dump and some with no pathways and for the disabled, it is impossible to cast their votes. There seems to be no concern or even data available with the election authorities regarding the number of disabled voters in a particular constituency.” Sunil Jain cast his vote in the 2008 elections successfully but only because he had assistance and somebody who could lift his wheelchair and help him to enter the polling booth. But the moot question here is : how many people can afford assistance on their own? Keeping in view, the problems faced by people with disabilities, Sunil and his Astha Foundation is hoping to bring awareness and launch a campaign for the rights of the disabled so that they can take part in the election process. “It is important that this section of the population gets all the support, logistical and otherwise, so that they exercise their voting rights. Through our campaign, we are also hoping to raise awareness levels in all the eligible voters for casting their valuable votes and also provide any kind of assistance they need,” he added. While people with disabilities too have the right to cast their votes, nobody knows how much action has been taken to empower them to exercise their choice. The prevailing scenario in our country today is: These people want to vote but they are not enrolled in any electoral rolls; they are in the electoral list, but neither find any support nor encouragement (infrastructure or otherwise) to participate in the democratic process; they can go and vote, but they may think that it’s not important; and further, some people do vote irrespective of facilities or not they somehow find a way to take part in the exercise. “Astha’s aim is to make sure that the disabled community too votes. After all, even their vote counts and the state and central governments should make efforts to make the voting process, whether Parliamentary or assembly, disabled friendly,” said Sunil. He further added adds that they are planning to meet the chief electoral officer of Karnataka and the disability commissioner on the 10th of this month to seek their involvement and support so as to empower maximum number of people with disability and ultimately having the freedom to choose and exercise their right to vote. -- Avinash Shahi MPhil Research Scholar Centre for the Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] NCERT survey paints grim enrolment picture for disabled
One part of the report is very noticeable. Surveyers have given emphasis on the status of SC ST and Girl disabled students enrollment condition in the report. It is not a hidden fact that the most of opportunities available to disabled in matters of education and employment are grabbed by upper caste disabled aspirants. And Caste hierarchy plays a major role in further accentuating marginalisation of students belonging from afore mentioned categories. more studies of such lenth are need of the hour. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/NCERT-survey-paints-grim-enrolment-picture-for-disabled/articleshow/19352994.cms By Himanshi Dhawan, TNN | Apr 3, 2013 NEW DELHI: As many as 13 states and Union Territories showed a decline in girls' enrolment, while about 10 displayed a dip in overall students' admission painting a dismal picture of inclusive education for children with disabilities. A nationwide study — conducted by the NCERT to assess enrolment, access and retention of students with disabilities found that states like Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, West Bengal among others — had all shown a decline in enrolment of girls as opposed to boys. The study was done after it was found that children with disabilities (CWD) have been consistently marginalized within school or excluded from institution and their enrolment in regular schools dropped significantly as they reach the level of secondary education. The NCERT study, sought to evaluate the implementation of the centrally-sponsored scheme of Inclusive Education of the Disabled at the Secondary Stage (IEDSS), also focused on identifying the existing good practices of inclusive education, the efforts made to meet the special needs of girl students with disabilities and of students with disabilities belonging to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other disadvantaged groups. Among the states where students' enrolment had increased under the IEDSS were Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Haryana, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Karnataka. A decrease in enrolment was registered in Bihar, Delhi, Kerala, Rajasthan, Tripura and Punjab among others. According to the study, only 12 of the 27 states provided training on special needs (SN) education to general teachers while only three states have provided training for more than five days. Majority of the teachers (88.1%) were unable to give response on meeting the special educational needs (SEN) of CWD in the classroom. Most of the states (20) are still following regular system of evaluation for CWD, and only six states have provided information on relaxation in admission procedures for students with disabilities in terms of age of admission, reservation and no rejection policy. -- Avinash Shahi MPhil Research Scholar Centre for the Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Some doubts regarding Braille
Dear Ajay, You can learn Braille in a desired time frame. However, as you may be aware, there are two grades in Braille, grade 1 and grade 2. Grade 1 involves learning to write words using the full spelling and grade 2 is the contracted form. It requires a lot of practice to gain proficiency in the latter as well as reading, but will come handy once attained. It really depends on your level of comfort and the particular situation that you are exposed to in deciding between braille and a laptop for use. Each has its own benefits.

Re: [AI] FM Transmitter and wireless keyboard
Hi You can also use blue-tooth headphone which you can also use on your mobile for being away from the desktop. Folks have also been controlling their desktops by using voice recognition this way. Now JSay is on the path of becoming free to use. Distance of course would be about 10 to 20 metres away through blue-tooth.

Offlate I have this crazy idea of interacting with my desktop or laptop quite away from it, rather than sitting there at a table for a long time and getting back aches etc. I've been thinking of a cost-effective solution that I believe might work and somewhat reduce the number of hours spent sitting at the computer and still be able to interact with it at least at home. The solution that I have in my mind is to get an FM transmitter and plug it into the 3.5mm audio port of my computer, tune my FM radio to the frequency of the transmitter, and control my computer using a wireless keyboard.

But the thing I'm worried about is how far does a typical FM transmitter work? Anyone using it?

Re: [AI] Disabled teen raped by cousin
How to answer your 'why' Surender, I am little confused. Let me attempt with few questions Ninety five per cent of subscribers are disabled here, aren't they? And disability discourse in India only focus on educational elevation and employment opportunities insofar. Everyday living with dignity demands deeper delving in the discourse. Such painful postings are posted in order to generate more thinking and promote preparedness in dealing with such circumstances not only in our own lives, but to give auxiliary aid to others in need. finally, I wonder, if any NGO exists in the country,which looks after the issues of sexual assault faced by women with blindness. Hope my purpose of posting such reall experiential stories is enough for your why?

[AI] need to punish states for mising RTE dead line
There is a need to punish states that have not done enough in three years ( in implementation of Right to Education Act), said, Dr M M Pallam Raju Union Minister of Human Resource Development (HRD) at the 61st meeting of Central Advisory Board on Education (CABE). The Minister said that there is consensus not to extend the deadline. Most of the states including ones ruled by Congress demanded extension and painted a grim scenario of thousands of schools closing down for missing the deadline. Raju also denied allegations that the Centre is being stubborn about extending the deadline and said people are free to move court against non-compliance by schools. Allying fears of large number of schools would close down following non- compliance of RTE Acte, Raju said the process of closing schools would be carried out by the state governments and they can be lenient. According to MHRD officials closing of schools are a long process running into several stages under which first notices would be sent out to schools and sufficient time would be given to them for reply, reported Times of India.
