 Taelor Khan initially came to the Sutter County One Stop as a high school student who is blind and in need of work experience. Currently Taelor is a college student with that needed work experience, who comes to the Sutter County One Stop a few times a week and successfully utilizes the Assistive Technology station to complete her college assignments. Taelor skillfully uses one of the many AT software provided, the program is known as JAWS, which is a screen reader developed for computer users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen content. JAWS reads aloud what's on the PC screen. Taelor is on her way to successfully achieving her college degree and we, here at the Sutter County One Stop will always find honor that we could provide this kind of technology, assisting people like Taelor become “Success Stories”.
