The access2science web site was developed several years ago and has had little attention in recent times. The information is still useful and relevant, but I would like to update it. Please send me any links or documents on STEM access, and I am happy to post them. The web site is intended to point to useful things that are available now. Information on research projects or things under development may be interesting but are not subjects for this site unless one can get beta versions.

Subject: [NFB-Science] Accessible Math Web Site

Hello, ,

Following last night's STEM call, I am sending out the address of a web page, developed by John Gardner, on accessible STEM materials and methods (http://access2science.com/indexAccessibility.html).

Kendra Schaber reminded me that I left this web address off the original message.

Remember, for STEM courses, to have the best chance of getting accessible material:

 1.  Start working on getting accessible STEM material for courses at least nine months before starting the course.
 2.  Use Braille as much as possible.
 3.  Get your course material in electronic format.  If necessary, write to the author of textbooks for accessible material.  Often the author's original material is far more accessible then the material prepared by the publisher.
 4.  Use readers if that is the best solution.
 5.  NVDA seems to be the best screen reader for working with mathematics.  Also get the MathType and MathPlayer programs.

Studying STEM is fun, exciting, and profitable.

Good luck.

Regards
Louis Maher
