[NFB-Science] Accessible Math Web Site

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi! 

 Thank you for clearing up what you meant when you kept telling all of us at the call to start 9 to 12 months before you start taking math classes. During the call, it was not clear if that meant to contact the publishers that far in advanced or to take that whole year to get everything ready to take your first math class, publisher or not. Also, I didn’t see the link that we were promissed. 


Thank you for taking the time to read this E Mail! 
Blessed be!!!
