A blind screen reader user\, on the othe r hand\, must reverse the process and gather bits of information through page exploration to create the full picture — a part-to-whole approach. If sighted design stakeholders are not mindful of the differences in th ese strategies\, they may disregard helpful bits of information that all ow the most efficient exploration and understanding for blind visitors. Using parallels from pedestrian navigation such as the importance of “la ndmarks” and “boundaries\,” our presenter Dr. Michele A. Williams will h elp create common ground between sighted and blind communities to ensure blind screen reader users are best accommodated in Web and other digita l design. \;\n \;\nEvent begins at 6:00pm\; join early starting at 5:45pm for networking. \;\n \;\nAgenda: \;\n \;\n* 5:45–6:0 0pm Networking \;\n* 6:00–6:15pm Introductions &\; announcements&# 13\;\n* 6:15–7:00pm Presentation \;\n* 7:00–7:30pm Q&\;A and discu ssion \;\n* 7:30–7:45pm Wrap up \;\n \;\nAbout the presenter:&# 13\;\n \;\nDr. Michele A.
