[NABS-L] [nabs-l] accessibility of anatomy courses

[Emily Schlenker]

Hi. Let me start this by saying that I have been through physiology as well as human anatomy and a comparative anatomy class complete with dissection. Tactile diagrams can be very helpful, but another thing that I found to be a good learning aid is to get some model magic and either make your own models or have someone make them for you. You can take them home with you and use them to study. As far as the diagrams go, you can have someone draw for you on swellpaper and then put it through a machine like the picture in a flash. This is definitely not your only option, but it is what I used and found it to be the most effective. It also depends on how many diagrams the professor uses and how many of them can be better represented for you with a handmade model or with a model that is already in the biology department.
Please feel free to call me.

I've spoken to the professor and the disability resource center, and essentially right now, the thought process is to use models when they are available and tactile diagrams when they are not. My only issue is that, when using models in the lab, it doesn't give me much material to be able to study.
