student can use a computer during tests, then the free online

Nemeth braille with a refreshable braille display and will
function with a modern screen reader. You can test it out at

عليكم brothers and sisters.<br>
<br>
As many of you know, I am a Palestinian-American Muslim who
still <br>
maintains contacts with other blind and visually impaired
Palestinians <br>
in Palestine and the diaspora. One of my contacts is the
disability <br>
support coordinator for Northern Israel. One of the students
she is <br>
trying to help is a young blind Palestinian college student
who is <br>
trying to major in computer science. This student needs a
scientific <br>
calculator to use during exams, because she is not allowed to
use her <br>
phone during tests.<br>
<br>
We did a google search and we found the prices of scientific
calculators <br>
ranging between 600 and 700 US dollars. This price is
prohibitive.<br>
<br>
Do you know of any place that sells scientific calculators at
a <br>
reasonable price? If you do, please contact me either
privately or on <br>
this list.<br>
<br>
Thanks a million for any help or suggestions.<br>
<br>
جزاكم الله خيرا.<br>
