Use of CHILDES by blind people

[Mick Perkins]

Dear Colleagues

One of my students - who happens to be blind - is starting a research 
project which involves access to linked CLAN and audio files. She can access 
both reasonably successfully using a dedicated text to speech software 
system called JAWS, but has not yet made use of CLAN programs for data 
analysis. If you are an experienced blind user of CHILDES, or know of 
someone who is, I would be grateful for any advice you may have on how best 
to proceed. I'd also be interested to know whether there is a community of 
blind researchers with an interest in child language/ linguistics /speech 
language pathology who I could put my student in touch with.

Many thanks
