Hi Karen, The best resource I know in the GTA for this kind of query is the Inclusive Design Research Centre at OCAD University. I don't have contacts (I worked with one of the professors there) but know that they have plenty of experience with Linux and screen readers. Just not sure if they've worked with the Pi.

Any pi users here able to advise about this setup? My concern is what applications might not work, as a deciding factor to bother. Conversation on a list focused on adaptive technology and the pi, is not yielding much information on, so thought I might ask here instead.
The Raspberry Pi team reached out to an accessibility charity known as AbilityNet to help evaluate the Raspberry Pi desktop environment for improvements. Raspbian now supports Orca screen reader. Orca is compatible with most applications that use GTK or Qt toolkits. Other toolkits aren't compatible and may or may not work. You can also find a new pixel doubling feature in the Raspberry Pi Configuration menu, improving screen visibility for visually impaired persons.
