[Using Sakai] Sakai 2.6 for blind student

[Mark Norton]

In theory, Sakai is compatible with modern screen reader applications, 
commonly used by blind users. In practice, I'm not sure that JForum has 
been tested for compatibility. My recommendation would be to set up a 
screen reader and try it out against your Sakai instance.
