Hi Jeannie,

I'm the Director of Accessibility here at SAS. I'm also blind. I've included a few tips below to get you started. Please email accessibility at sas.com  if you have questions about accessibility. We'll be happy to help.

Best,
Ed

First, install this free extension for Google Chrome so you can interactively explore graphs using sound, read automatically generated text descriptions, etc:

When you install SAS, make sure you install the latest version to get the best accessibility support. At this time, the latest version is 9.4M6.

Use the new accessibility system options for SAS so you enable the new accessibility features in 9.4M6:

Use the ODS HTML5 destination to create output so your output is accessible:
https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=odsug&docsetTarget=p0hcv8gpxqebnpn1is52we2enltx.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en

Use the ODS Graphics procedures to create graphs so your graphs are accessible:
https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=grstatproc&docsetTarget=titlepage.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en

You can write/run/debug SAS code using many applications. Here's the accessibility documentation for the default application that runs when you launch SAS from the Windows Start menu. This doc includes keyboard shortcuts:
https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=basea11y&docsetTarget=titlepage.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en

Finally, refer your professors to this guide for creating accessible SAS output:

Steve,
Actually, I am the statistics student! I am pursuing a Ph.D. In industrial and organizational psychology. I have not had a stats class in more than 30 years. However, this is the first time as a blind student. I have spoken to Dr. Bell about what they use at Louisiana Tech. The university typically uses SPSS in psychology and social sciences. However, he has a license for SAS and is willing to tutor me in its use. I know I have more stats class ahead of me in this program and want to make sure that I can run data and interpreted in the best way possible.
Also, with regard to the student in Colorado trying to use magnification for mathematics. I might also suggest that we introduce him to other students in the STEM fields. I know there are lots of students and professionals living in Colorado who are blind and quite smart!
Best to all,
Jeannie
