[BlindMath] calculus and statistics accomidations and access

[Preston Davis III]

Hello all,

I’m sure what I’m about to ask has been asked somewhere before in some
fashion, but I couldn’t figure out the search feature. Anyway, I have
to take calculus and statistics as a requirement for getting accepted
into business school. I really have no idea what I’m getting myself
into, and what I’m looking for is, best case, people who have taken or
teach either of these subject areas to offer some practical advice, or
accommodation techniques for situations I’ll face in either of these
areas that I should try out to ensure I have a solid grasp of the
material. My community college is not the best when it comes to
providing accommodations, (not for lack of caring though), and I don’t
think we have the time or money to spend on some solutions I’ve heard
of. Here’s some helpful information: I am a braille reader with access
to a windows pc, Jaws, and a braille display. My DSS office has a
picture in a flash machine but they are a little less-than competent
in its operation. One potential problem I might run in too is that my
college uses my math lab by Pearson, for homework, and quizzes online.
While I’m not sure if this is the case for these particular courses,
in the others I’ve taken it is. I have a meeting with the professor of
both courses on the seventeenth of august, so I’m trying to get as
much information as I can before then.

Thanks in advance
PDIII
