[Blindmath] can visually impaired people study math in higherlevel?

[Christine Szostak]

Hi Iqbal,
  Since you also mentioned science, I will add my two cents here for what it 
is worth and say that blindness also is not a limitation for doing science. 
I am working on my doctorate, studying psycholinguistics a sub-field of 
Cognitive Science that requires the ability to  combine Psychology, 
Linguistics, Physics, anatomy/physiology, and behavioral neuroscience in 
order to make successful scientific discoveries. Also, since it requires the 
use of statistics and graphing, it also provides further support for Sarah's 
comments.

  Welcome to the list.
many thanks,
Christine
