[Blindmath] college and math

American Printing House for the Blind has some. Many university's take
the responsibility of obtaining the book for the student to ensure
quality, edition and cost, and since it can be costly.

I have a student who is blind that is going to college next year.  She
is trying to decide between a public or private college.   We are trying
to figure out how to get a math book in Braille for college.  Where does
one look to see what is available and where would one find a braillist
to get one brailled quickly?  Have people taken a math class without a
brailled text?   

 

This is an above average student who has done very well in high school.
She is good with technology and uses a laptop and braillenote very well.


 

Any thoughts or suggestions on this topic or college for a student who
is blind would be appreciated.  

 

Kathy
