[Blindmath] help

[Bhavya shah]

I am quite sure that the student must be having swell line
paper/sheets and a blind's geometry box. Ask him to bring both of
these and draw with preferably a pen and apply pressure on the swell
line paper so that the diagram becomes embossed/tactile. He will then
read it and after analysis and solving will be able to verbally or by
diagram give you the answer.
Please try to give your student alternative questions for extremely
graphical or visual questions.
