[nabs-l] College issue, please help!

[STOMBERG, KENNEDY]

As much as it sucks, the reality is that math is super visual, no matter
what. Have you tried talking to the Disability Services Cordinator at your
college about posibly getting a sighted assistant to help you with problems
on this website? It might be easier for you, and many older students enjoy
the opurtunity, especially because many Disabbility Services offiaes will
pay them! Try that, and see if it works.
