- Once you’re done adding yourself into all desired activities, click on “Click to proceed with ticket completion. Attendee information on next page” or the Register Now button. Tap or double tap if using a screen reader on this.

(Hint: the country field defaults as United States. Further down the form, when you approach the state field, this also reads as country for those using a screen reader. Please know that it is referring to your state)
- When finished filling out your information, click on “Click to complete registration process” or the Reserve button. Tap or double tap if using a screen reader on this.

Instructions on signing up for activities on a computer:
- Click here to open our activities calendar in a separate tab.
- Each activity has both a heading and a link. Click on or enter on any activity that interests you.
- Next, click on or press enter on the “Register now here” link.
- Now you have 2 methods of signing up.
First Quick Method:
- You can keep pressing tab to add yourself to each activity.
- You’ll click on or enter on “increase” (+) which adds the number 1 to sign you up for that activity. A 1 indicates you have added yourself to an activity.
- Continue to press tab to navigate through all of the activities, continuing to click on or press enter on the ones you wish to join.
- If you made a mistake or changed your mind during this session, press shift tab and click on or press enter on “decrease” (-) and the number will revert back to 0 for the activity.
Second Method (arrowing down):
- You will arrow down and find each activity is listed line by line with the following information;
- Date, time, location and title of the activity
- A heading with again date, title, location and time of the activity
- A blank line
- A description of the activity
- Another blank line
- A message should you be done signing up that reads – If you are using a screen reader, click “shift b” to jump to the “Register Now” button once you are done signing up for activities.
- Another blank line
- Whether the activity is free or any associated costs
- Another blank line
- The word decrease along with the name of the activity. If you have signed up for an activity and wish to remove yourself, here’s where you would do so.
(Hint: When using some screen readers such as Jaws, after you’ve signed up for a given activity the decrease and the number 1 are on the same line. You’ll need to press control + right arrow to hear “decrease” and then press enter to actually remove yourself. You can’t just enter on the whole line, rather be sure to hear “decrease” using word by word commands like control + right arrow or control + left arrow if you moved too far and need to land back on decrease and then press enter.)
- An unavailable button is on the next line if you haven’t actually signed up for this activity, as there’s nothing to remove in such instances.
- The next line has the number 0 and increase with the title of the activity. This works much like the decrease in that you will need to use your arrow keys or control + right arrow for screen readers to land on increase and then press enter to add yourself to this activity.
- Arrow down and continue this process for each and every activity you wish to sign up for, as the line by line is the same for each activity when arrowing down.
- When you are done signing up for all the fun activities you want, click on or press enter on “Click to proceed with ticket completion. Attendee information on next page” or Register Now button.
- On the next page, you have the option to make a donation to Future In Sight. To donate, fill out how often you would like to donate and the amount, then click on or press enter on “Click to proceed to checkout page to complete registration” or Checkout button.
- To opt out of donating, navigate to and click on or enter on the “Skip Donation” link. Or, click on or enter on “Click to bypass Add a Donation page and proceed to checkout page to complete registration” or Skip button.
- Now, please fill out each of the fields with your info such as name, email, etc. Please be sure to complete all fields.
(Hint: the country field defaults as United States. Further down the form, when you approach the state field, this also reads as country for those especially using a screen reader. Please know that it is referring to your state)
- When finished filling out your information, please click on or enter on “Click to complete registration process” or the Reserve button.
