Sharepoint frustrations

Hi all,

Apologies if I sent this twice, was having an Outlook issue.

Is there anyone on the list who's had experience developing in Sharepoint 2010 or 2013, and or using it with a screen reader like JAWS?
I'm at my wit's end, trying to help our developers figure out why JAWS keeps treating some of the page content as editable, speaking "edit has pop-up" on each line of text or hyperlink and trying to turn on Forms Mode.
If anyone has any ideas as to what might cause this aggravating behavior and what the developers could maybe do to fix it, please let me know off-list, unless others here are interested in finding out.
Unfortunately, for security reasons, the pages are behind a firewall. The folks at Microsoft and Freedom Scientific both couldn't help us much, since they couldn't see the Sharepoint pages themselves.
