NON CLASSIFIÉ / UNCLASSIFIED

I am wondering if there is a good way to insure that content can be scrollable using the keyboard.

I like to be able to see the content as it is being read by my screenreader.

In our learning application, I often see content that is scrollable. When I get Jaws to read the content using the SayAll functionality all works well and I can see the content as Jaws is reading it.
When the focus gets to the end of the scrollable area I no longer can see the content as Jaws is reading it. The only way I can scroll the content is to use my mouse scroll wheel.

I have tried scrolling the page using Control + downarrow with no luck.

Is there a technique that can be used that will provide this functionality to keyboard and Access technology users?
I would like to be able to recommend something that would solve this issue to the content provider.
