The same is for me, though I don't have the experience of a phd.

I'm currently a PhD student in computer science at NC State university in
Raleigh North Carolina. If she'd like to talk to someone who has had first
hand experience with this stuff, please feel free to give her my email
address.

Also, feel free to email me for my phone number. I'll be happy to speak with
her on the phone.

Take care,
Sina

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
