[BlindMath] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Re: Accessibility of Latex to PDF

[Donald Winiecki]

While it may be easier for one individual to just work with an instructor,
in the long run it would be beneficial to teach individuals in the
disability resource office to do this, or at least to provide them with an
avenue for communicating with a knowledgeable instructor.

Participating in building a helpful system may be another step, but I
suspect some on this list will agree that we owe it to those who come after
us to leave behind a better system than we found it.
