Jen

I have students in physics and calculus and she should be able to do
this: Quadratic
Trend-line with scatter plot graph including equation in Excel with Jaws
talking software <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VlVlQBTcdE>and then
everything else in excel also.
Then PPT commands to present info: Blind student completes a sophisticated
Excel then inserts into PowerPoint
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kt0Lxmjik4>

Anything in braille, like a periodic table needs to be matched in online
access to get all the other info she needs with it like this:
https://www.chemicool.com/

She should be able to output math, physics etc in Word all Using Learning
how to do Math in Word using symbols with Jaws
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztmjJjqrAvM>
all Greek letters can be done using special commands also

Math like this also: Excel - Geometry & insert shapes and label graph

To prepare for life--have your child learn how to adapt work: Apps to make
work accessible for blind using talking software
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z3xQGqdssw>

hundreds more on youtube but these lessons are all from what students are
doing in school  --if you go to an older video, just know, it is even
easier now

This gives you an idea of how much our kids know and can do. The sighted
kids actually ask them for help with their work. One of my seniors learns
in our lessons then goes back to her group and teaches them the calculus
and how to do the graphs.

It is quite a wonderful switch on "who helps who" in schools
