JAWS is a means to me that everyone has the empowerment to navigate and receive data on the computer without help. I'm living with the reality that my vision will never completely return, but I count my blessings, the grace of God has given me a computer that reads everything on the screen aloud, thus I can work, stay informed and communicate with people, without depending on visual aids. This level of independence is a motivator and undeniably a confidence booster.
