Subject: [BlindMath] Tutoring blind high school student to read Math content

Hi,

I am looking for an experienced/expert JAWS/NVDA user who can tutor my daughter with vision impairment to read and write Math preferably through using JAWS or otherwise NVDA. It can be online sessions through Zoom or Teams. I have so far unsuccessfully tried to help her find ways to optimally read/write Math from the online sites (lamar.edu etc.) and OpenStax and nothing worked so far. I think that an expert in this area might be able to help her better than me.

The goals are:

  *   Information on installation of appropriate software, tools, plugins and utilities that will help her learn Math and other Science subjects.
  *   Writing Math content preferably in Word. Open to any other suggestions or softwares as well if they are more reliable and less error-prone and not too complex for high schooler to learn.
  *   Reading Math content from various sources. Most importantly from http://openstax.org Algebra book.
  *   Reading Latex, AsciiMath, UnicodeMath, Math ML based content optimally and correctly.
  *   The expectation is that the same information will be useful for learning Physics and Chemistry later.

Please reply to me with some information about yourself and the expected fee for an hour session if you are interested. Having a 15 min introductory talk over Zoom or Teams first to familiarize with each other and then get better understanding on the approach will be helpful. After that, we can schedule the sessions.

Thanks
Shail
