[Blindmath] AP Statistics

Hello Alex and listers,
I also have a similar situation.  My student is legally blind and uses zoomtext.  She is barely passing her AP Stats course. Problems are lack of an accessible graphing calculator and difficulty following along in class - she is not  able to see the examples the teacher's calculator projects onto a screen using her Clarity CCTV and therefore is having trouble learning how to solve problems correctly on her own.  Have you ever tested your program with Zoomtext to see if it is compatible?  I am hoping this may benefit my student as well.  Thanks for your input.
Maria

This is not a teaching tool, but tell your student that I have a stats
program based in HTML (so any web browser, except the one on the GW
Micro Sense notetakers) can run it. It does basic data set info,
hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, probability, normal
curve/inverse normal lookups, t-score and inverse t lookups, and a
couple other things. I can email you or your student a copy if this is
something that would be helpful. I wrote it over the course of last
semester's data analysis class and it is mainly for my own use, so it
is not fool-proof and does not have full documentation, but it gets
the job done. Anyway, let me know if you want a copy. Oh, there is no
charge for this.
