Yes, blind students can input the information, but without a graphic embosser, the sound that it plays is not enough feedback for the blind student to understand what he just did.

<div>Sally,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You and I both! I like and respect Susan O, but, truth-to-tell, she is the
only person with whom I have ever spoken who has given the AGC a positive
rating. I think that, for the purpose of creating tactile graphics, it comes
down to a high-quality reader with an understanding of mathematics and the
requisite terminology, tactile graph paper, Wikki Stix, and other low-tech
tools. As tech savvy as I am and I know your son is, that isn't always the most
feasible solution. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for the utilization of Sci Notebook with DBT: I personally have not done
so and have gotten mixed reviews from those who have. It is certainly doable,
but I think patience and proofreading are in order if you undertake it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I look forward to continued discussion on this vital issue.</div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I am interested in finding an accessible graphing
calculator solution that really works. It has to be useful even without
a Tiger Embosser. Also, does anyone use Scientific notebook with Duxbury to
create math problems for kids? How does it work? Would you
recommend it?</font></div>
