[nabs-l] Chemistry for the Blind

[Carly Mihalakis]

Evening, Becca,

I tend to agree with other students who confirm 
that, knowing in chemistry is centered around 
methodology, not the actual compounds you 
create.. I also like the idea of getting a 
sighted lab partner who might supply empirical 
observation not readily experienced by means of technology. Carly

My name is Becca Weber and I attend Archbishop 
John Carroll High School in Pennsylvania. I have 
had a lot of frustrations here, particularly with 
my team. I feel that they focus too much on 
vision. So, that’s why I’m reaching out to 
you. I am wanting to take chemistry next year, 
but this has been shut down because of safety 
reasons. I would like to point out that I have, I 
believe, 20-500 vision. I think, so this may be 
different. I have cooked by myself with no help 
at all sometimes. I am wondering how a blind 
student could take chemistry? >> I have some

chemicals to me, but I can see color >> -using a 
device called a math quest I think. >> Anything 
else please email me. >> Thank you so much for 
your help. >> Have a nice day. >> Becca > >
