[Blindmath] student accommodations

[Sabra Ewing]

Maybe try asking the student how he reads material? What accommodations has he received in the past? What does he often have problems with or think he will have problems with? I know that in my case I received my math electronically, and often times someone had to specially prepare it because there isn't much accessible math material around. I would do my math electronically and I would read and write it in computer braille because there isn't anything on the market right now to easily translate between Nemeth braille and printed math. I would also read tactile graphs to the greatest extent I was able, which wasn't very well because I am not very good with pictures of any sort.
