Re: [AI] FW: Successful Effort with CBSE!
i think that is a great achievement. to be able to give exams independently is a very nice and a fulfilling experience. i know this because i was one of the first students with visual impairment to write an exam on computer in the tata institute of social sciences for my masters in social work. it was a difficult thing then because the institute was not ready to provide papers in soft coppy and the moderator/incharge of the centre for persons with visual impairment (the place where we had to give our exams due to installation of jaws in the computer) had to scan the paper and we had to wait till he is able to scan and edit the paper. it meant that we started the paper half an hour after other students. also we had difficulties to concentrate as there was a lot of noise in the centre. i am happy that the cbse is positive about giving question papers in soft coppy. ashmira On 3/2/13, Sonu Golkar sonug.m...@gmail.com wrote: Sonu Golkar Mo: +919483529980 Skype: sonu.golkar -Original Message- From: young-vo...@googlegroups.com [mailto:young-vo...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of vibhu sharma Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 4:47 PM To: young-vo...@googlegroups.com Subject: Successful Effort with CBSE! Dear Young Voices Delhi Group It is my pleasure to share with you about the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)'s decision to provide the visually challenged students with a computer at the examination centre during the board exams. The computer will also be loaded with JAWS. The question paper will be loaded in the computer, in Microsoft Word, before the visually challenged student is given the paper to answer. While it is a dream come true for all of us, it is my pleasure, as well as a responsibility to share with you that my school Principal, had helped me pursue it with the board. Naturally, it wasn't an easy task, but for more than a year, my school Principal, Special Educator, and my parents along with me, had been pursuing this with the board and finally we have been successful. Of course, there were disappointments, worries, but we never gave up, and finally, we have been successful, in bringing a benefit not only to ourselves, but for whole of the community of the visually challenged, to all those, who want to write their exams independently. We have been successful, in achieving another step, towards the empowerment of the visually challenged! And this has been made possible by the tireless, continuous, constant efforts and supports of my school Principal!

Re: [AI] FW: Successful Effort with CBSE!
A point to be taken notice of is that it is ok to have scribes write for you, but you will not have scribes working for you when you work. Hence the practice of using scribes is perpetuating a practice of dependency.
