Thank you for your responses! We have had a particularly hard time remaining in contact with the student so as we weighed our options today, we thought something that could help is getting the opinions of others to get a general idea of what others have liked until we can make contact with the student again, instead of haunting production completely!
Thank you so much!

>> Hi NABSters,
>> I have been working as the Braille editor for my university for a few months now. We recently started doing a Braille math book in Nemeth for a student, and with it being our first one, I have a few questions that I am hoping that all of your own experiences can help me with. My experience won't help as much as I would like because I do have limited vision so I've done things differently than this student will need.
>> 1. When using tactiles, how do you prefer them? Do you like every tactile printed, or a general one that just goes over concept. (I ask this because for me, I prefer one that goes over concept whereas someone else likes all of them.)
>> 2. When a problem is graphing, whether it be on a number line or on a graph, do you prefer a reader, or do you prefer to do these on your own with tactile graphing paper? Are these the only options? If not, what other options are there that you like?
>> 3. Do you have any other tips/tricks/ideas that I can do to help this student as well as the rest of the team that is creating this textbook? Please let me know!
>> Thank you!
