CCNA Curriculum No Barrier to Motivated Blind Student
Overview Tony McCloskey did something rather unusual, even though he already had a degree in electrical engineering; he enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy Program and obtained his Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. For Tony, who was born blind, the lab-oriented nature of the Cisco classes might have posed an insuperable barrier. But he's used to tackling challenges head-on. Using JAWS screen-reading software from Freedom Scientific, complemented by a text-based terminal emulator, he was able to take full advantage of the Academy course material. And when some of the online delivery mechanisms - notably the "Flash" video clips and animated diagrams - proved too much for the JAWS software, Cisco provided Word files so Tony could access all the information.
