[nabs-l] Statistics Course

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi all,
I am totally blind and I've taken four statistics courses for my
experimental psych program-two undergraduate and two graduate. I also
tutor sighted students in intro stats. When I have more time I will
post in more detail about the techniques I used; however, if you want
to talk one-on-one, feel free to call me at
602-502-2255
Also, a couple weeks ago I sent out a link to a free, accessible
online stats calculator. I will re-send the link in my longer reply,
but if you still have that email or see it in the archives, I'd
encourage you to look at the link I sent. Perhaps your professor will
let you use this calculator instead of SPSS or other programs that are
less accessible.
Best,
Arielle
