introduction and question

[NoOp]

Hi Timothy, I'm going to top-post (bottom posting is prefered on this
list) given your accessability issue.

Have you tried the
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
mailing list? The reason for asking is that the folks on that list are
likely to be able to assist you better.

Also:
http://live.gnome.org/Orca
and the local Ubuntu team in Alabama:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-al
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlabamaTeam
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlabamaTeam/ContactUs

[ Threads in Forum : Alabama Team - US ]

Perhaps by contacting the Alabama loco team member, you can arrange for
someone local to assist you directly.
