[Blindmath] college and math

[Alice Loma]

    Have your student get herself established with the schools disability 
and resource Service center. All her materials and books are converted by 
the center to meet her academic needs. I've also found some books through 
the Library of Congress and Bookshare.org. Good Luck with school. Alice
