[Cabs-talk] MATH HELP.

[Joe Retherford]

Well said Miso. It can be done. I was a math major in college and never touch the Calculator. Math was a big concern of the students at convention and we are working on it. We are planning to have a math-based conference call and those students that want to help out in the planning can do so. We will have more information coming soon though.

With a lot of practice, it is possible to master basic calculations without using a calculator. Also, writing out your steps using a brailler may help you out since you can read as you write in multiple lines.

Key is finding someone who understands how blind students do math rather than being stubborn on methods that are better for sighted students.
