[humanser] Sex education for blind college student

[Christina Moore]

Hi,
Her school could also provide her a person that would be able to describe her the diagrams outside of class so that she would know what they look like if she needs to describe them. if the question on the quiz/exam is label the parts of the diagram that are involved in the reproductive system she could write out the process of reproduction.

Each time the instructor does not make a particular point verbally clear, she should immediately ask that the point be made verbally clear. Also, if any exams have diagrams in any answers to questions, I would suggest that you tell her to request that the instructor allow her to answer the question in written words rather than diagrams. Yes, we do live in a sighted world and need to do things in that medium as far as possible, however, the important thing is that we are able to understand as well as sighted people, the educational content of college classes.

She is uncomfortable with the class discussion of sexuality particularly at times when the instructor is disgusting human sexual Biology utilizing PowerPoint presentation's. I am wondering if anyone knows of anatomically correct models and if so where she might obtain them. Alternatively I am considering the possibility that she might be able to scan the PowerPoint slides and then utilize a 3D printer to make models? Any help much appreciated – Karen Rose MFT
