[nabs-l] Chemistry Braille Code

[Lillie Pennington]

Hi Chris
I am taking chem next year and if I recall correctly my teacher told me that there were no special symbols. I could try seeing if the electronic copy of my textbook raises any Braille red flags. I know everyone's situation is different but I would suspect that the courses are similar.
There are also files with the symbols for the various Braille codes that I did not find particularly helpful because they did not encompass all of the symbols I needed to know.
Btw, do you have a periodic table and a way to draw atoms?

One of my IEP goals for this year is to learn the code in preparation for my class next semester. However, my TVI does not know the choistry code very well at all and therefore has not even started work on it. So my question is this: how detailed is the chemistry code, if there in fact is one? To those of you who have taken chemistry courses, did learning the Braille code require much preparation time prior to the start of the class? Like other math subjects, could I learn the relevant symbols as I need them in the class and not fall behind? My concern is that with only a week of school left, I will not be able to have the time I need to learn the code and could begin the course with a very limited knowledge of the code I need to use. I would appreciate any and all thoughts from those who have experience with chemistry and the associated Braille code.
