[nabs-l] math and science homeschooling

[Lucy Sirianni]

Hi Ahbee,

I homeschooled from kindergarten through high school graduation, 
so I have a few ideas.  First, depending on what state you're in, 
you can homeschool but still have an IEP through your local 
school district and receive supplementary services through them, 
including Braille transcription.  Second, you could reach out to 
your state agency for the blind for transcription assistance, if 
you're of age to have a counselor.  Third, you could get 
textbooks from sources like the American Printing House for the 
Blind (expensive, but maybe your state agency would help with the 
cost?), Bookshare, or volunteer transcription agencies.  Finally, 
you might look into Hadley's math and science courses.

I hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any 
more questions about homeschooling; it was a great experience for 
me!

Lucy

Hi everyone,

I am wondering about homeschooling.  Is it possible to homeschool 
a blind student in math and science? I would think that there is 
a possible way to do it, but we wouldn't have an embosser and 
don't know if we'd be able to get Brailled upper, advanced math 
and science textbooks.  What suggestions do you'all have on this 
topic?

Thank you,
Ahbee
