[Blindmath] student accommodations

Sat Nov 7 03:26:40 UTC 2015

Sandra, the student most certainly had an IEP in high school. He should let you look at that so that you can see what accommodations he had. As a teacher of the visually impaired, I know how hard I work to articulate in that document what the student needs. I am sorry to hear that the student is not sure how ti self advocate. I have to use that to encourage my students to be able to articulate for themselves by the time they walk across the stage for their HS diploma!

Hi there,
Also, what disability(ies) does this student have? Do they read Braille? Use
audio? Large print? Knowing these questions will better help us help you.
It's excellent you're starting research now though on how to help this
student. I hope he is also taking the self-advocacy reigns and seeking out
some information himself too.
Cheers,
Sarah

Hi Sandra,
Do you happen to know which courses your student is planning to take? The
level of accommodation will depend on difficulty of the course material (as
in how it is conveyed) and a history of such accommodation's received by
this student.
Cheers,
Joseph

Greetings,
I have a student who will be attending in the Spring semester who is blind.
What accommodations do we need to have to accommodate this student?  I
imagine there are zillions of such accommodations but I'm just wanting the
basics at least as a place to start.  The student tells me he is not sure
what he needs.  I don't know either.  Thanks for any assistance.
