[BlindMath] Adjustments in exams for diagram labelling exercise

[Rosanne Hoffmann]

Hi Djuna,

APH sells the Basic Tactile Anatomy Atlas, a two-binder set of tactile graphics with labels. If the graphics are appropriate for the exam, the labels could be covered. Please let me know if you would like a list of the tactile images included in this product. 

Another possibility is to access the Tactile Graphic Image Library housed by APH at the following link:
https://www.aph.org/tgil/ You will need to create an account for free access to the images. 
Making tactile graphics from these images requires copying them onto swell touch or microcapsule paper and running them through a tactile graphics machine (Zychem, PIAF, or Reprotronics) to make the images tactile.

Finally, we do have a set of vacuum-formed health education tactile graphics that include many anatomical system images. This product is not yet for sale, but we could loan you images that are appropriate for the exam.

Please reply with any questions.

Subject: [BlindMath] Adjustments in exams for diagram labelling exercise

Dear Colleagues,

I'm a disability professional supporting a health sciences university student who uses JAWS. The student will be sitting an exam which requires them to label an anatomical diagram.

Does anyone know of any practical solutions or software solutions to allow a blind student to access such diagrammatic questions?

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,
