[NABS-L] Seeking input regarding a science course

[aevans.nfb at gmail.com]

I completed  Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 for my degrees. I found that
having a sighted aid to describe items that the professor was going over in
class with tactile markers like bump dots on the less prominent portions
really helped me. I did have the issue of the professor addressing the aid
and not me multiple times but this is what worked for me and may not work
for you. I also went to open lab times when I could with my aid to go over
models when I had the time. During class you will find that the professor
goes over models extremely quickly for a blind person to understand because
they are used to teaching sighted people the information. That is why going
to open labs times are a must. I also suggest talking to your Accessibility
department about making tactile paper models with puffy paint or if your
school has some sort of department that makes 3D models have them help you
with making them of slides if you have to learn them. I had some knowledge
of human anatomy so a lot of the information was just an extension of what I
already knew. Also one thing that helped me was using a braille labeler to
print out numbers and number certain parts of a model and I have the key to
what the numbers were referring to. If you have any questions I can do my
best to help you more. I hope what I mentioned above gave you some ideas.

Hi everyone,
I am taking a human biology course in the fall and have been informed that
there will be a lot of diagram labeling involved to  identify specific areas
of the human anatomy.
I was wondering if anyone has taken a course like this, and what
Accommodations were helpful?
Thanks in advance for any input.


Best regards,
