[Blindmath] Is a Diploma in IT accessible enough for a blind student?

[Saaqib Mahmuud]

Hello to the Blind Math community! 

My name is Saaqib Mahmood; I'm a visually impaired person from Abbottabad, Pakistan, with an MPhil in Mathematics and working as a mathematics lecturer at a mainstream college run by the local provincial government. 

The Pakistan Association of the Blind (PAB) is looking forward to starting a one-year Diploma in Information Technology (DIT) program for the blind students at their national Resource and Training Center (RTC) in Karachi. 

This DIT program, administered by the Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE), includes courses such as programming in C, VB.Net, and JAVA; web page designing and creation in HTML and other allied tools; and similar other high-tech courses in the field of computer science and information technology. 

I would be happy to send you the complete course outline. 

Is there any precedent of blind people taking and successfully completing such courses with the help of screen reading software such as JAWS and NVDA? 

If so, then can you put me in touch with any individual or organisation who can provide us technical support as and when we need?
Regards. 

Yours Faithfully,
