Morning all, 
I was unable to find an attachment in Carlos's message. Please see the below message which was posted to the National Association of Blind Students list which may answer the original question.

Hi all,
I posted this a couple years ago, but figured it was about time to
re-post because it is an excellent resource for blind students taking
statistics. If you are needing to do statistical tests but are having
trouble finding an accessible software program to use, you should
check out the Graphpad calculator at
http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/index.cfm
The free online calculator will perform basic statistical tests such
as T-tests and chi-square, and can also be used to obtain critical
values for your test statistics. I have used it frequently and also
taught sighted students how to use it, and in both instances I found
it extremely accessible and easy to use. It also has built-in
tutorials which can help you understand and interpret the output.
If you have any questions about the calculator or would like more
information about how to use it in your course, please feel free to
write me off-list at
arielle71 at gmail.com

Best,
Arielle
