[Pibe-division] {Spam?} CAD plan reading for low vision

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,
 
I'm curious to know if the program is autocad.

No, not CVI.  But he has some processing issues.  I've been bumping up the
clarity of the 'blueprints' and suggesting that he examine a 'real'
prototype alongside the blueprints until he makes the connections.  Also
asking him to highlight the 'dotted lines' that represent the backsides of
the images for clarity.  
Part of the issue is the fact that the images use a font that is not common
one and the images are pdf's with the numbers often represented at an angle.
We can go in and rewrite (by hand) each number for the dimensions.  I'm
attaching an example of one to this email if anyone would like to see what
we're managing.  I ran the image through a photo program and increased the
contrast which helped him with the details, and eliminated the gray
background.  
Thanks for any assistance here...the teacher told me that the diagrams are
only going to become more and more detailed as the class progresses. 
 
Thank you, Amy

Does he have CVI Amy--that is a whole other issue-he will need hands on and
a lot of explanation of what he is actually touching

Hello all, 
 
I have a low vision 10th grade/regular ed student; using visio 
 
I am seeing difficulty for him in reading the 'plans' due to lots of detail
that needs to be transferred to the program for use.  My first thought is to
simplify the drawings as much as possible, using high contrast/enlargement.
However; I am hearing that he still has difficulty in managing the concepts
presented visually (2d to 3d translation).  
 
Has anyone every managed this type of problem with a student--what would you
suggest we try?  I considered use of a prototype and measuring the actual
product, but fear this would remove the learning of the concept.  
 
Thank you for your time in advance, 
Amy
