I have had an S O S from staff supporting an early high school
student needing to produce a PowerPoint presentation as part of his
Business IT subject.

I'd like to ask:
What sort of business model do the student and teacher refer to when
trying to master skills that will be used in an individual's future
job?

What does a corporate executive do if he or she is visually impaired
and must give a Powerpoint presentation? Is it typical to hire
someone? Are there tools available that will enable a person with a
visual impairment to create a presentation? Would an auditory
presentation by appropriate?

  With learning being a lifetime pursuit, I lean towards learning to
give an auditory presentation: speaking punctuated by sound bites.
