Question for you.  Who publishes your math/physics textbooks?  This might
be important to making a case.  Maybe your teacher needs some support as
well.  Does anyone know a vendor that would take care of reproducing an
exam in the Braille format or software that would pump it out in some way?
 I'm also curious about this on a personal basis.
