I don't know about the whole no screen reader reading graphs, but when I have taken classes where I've had to post or read messages in a thread, I just did a printable view of the message I was trying to read.

It was the only option available to me at the time, so I simply made the best of it. I believe it is more important to understand the basic concepts that go into creating a graph rather than just simply being able to create one on a calculator.

Simply choose the one that works best for you while reading through them with a screen reader. I generally choose a printable version of the entire message thread to read through the messages. If you are using the Angel platform system, there should be a tutorial that helps you learn how to navigate through the site. I’ve never really encountered any major problems as far as accessibility is concerned while using the site.
