Folks,

Natalie Shaheen has written a paper:
"Dismantling the Compulsory Sightedness of STEM Education and Empowering
Blind Learners: by Natalie Shaheen "https://nlshaheen.com/dare/".

Natalie writes that she has identified 5 principles for empowering blind
learners in STEM.  The principals are:


  1.  Embrace Nonvisual Ways of Knowing.
  2.  Create an Environment that Empowers Blind People to Participate Fully
in All of the Learning.
  3.  Provide Opportunities for Blind People to Learn Nonvisual STEM Process
Skills.
  4.  Use Equipment that is Non visually Accessible.
  5.  All Instructional Materials are Available in Non-visually Accessible
formats at the Same Time and in the Same Place as Visual Formats.

The Science and Engineering division would appreciate hearing your thoughts
and experiences on this topic.



Regards
