[NABS-L] Tutoring blind high school student to read Math content

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello,
Dan Rugman was studying mathematics at university when he was losing
his sight. He is a music engineer now and may be able to help you. You
can find him on the Sibelius Access list as he helped create the
interface softwear between Sibelius and Jaws.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
