[BlindMath] Geometry help

[John Gardner]

The important message here is that you need to see the image to do geometry. If you cannot see it visually, you need to see it with your fingers. None of your present tools give an image. So you cannot do geometry with these tools.

Hello:

     There are three solutions I can think of:
1. APH sells the Draftsman system for creating raised line images. There are accessories that when used with the Draftsman allow the user to draw precise images. A student should be able to complete his/her homework or an aide can copy drawings from a board.
2. The SwellForm machine with SwellTouch paper from American Thermoform allows sighted teachers or aides to draw or copy images onto SwellTouch paper. When the SwellTouch paper is processed by the SwellForm machine, any black areas will raise.
3. ViewPlus Technologies sells embossers capable of creating raised images.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert

Hello:
I am interested in obtaining an accessibility plan to share with my son’s  school to support his learning in a High School Geometry class.  He has access to an IPAD, Surface Pro, BrailleNote touch plus , and graphing calculator. Unfortunately, no one seems to know how to use these or other tools to make graphs, charts, angles, and other geometry activities meaningfully accessible to him. I appreciate your help.
