[BlindMath] [Blind Math] Coding Group and Coding tutor for Vision Impaired High School Student

Wed Feb 9 01:31:52 UTC 2022

If your daughter knows a bit of python, why not keep on developing 
python at least to a stage where she can comfortablily write some 
scripts to perform some basic tasks.

As she has basic knowledge on python, I do not think it is a good idea 
to suddenly change to learn a new language unless she really wants to do so.

Also, if she can master screen reader very well, indentation is not a 
problem at all.

(that’s my personal opinion though 😊). Moreover, I believe, JAVA is the preferred languages for Comp Science students in Universities so that's another reason for the bias.

Most of the time all it takes is help getting started.  Of course the problem is not always learning coding but I have found in the two students I have had and  the many I have worked with over the years screen reader  skills have been more problems than learning coding.
