[Trainer-Talk] Webinar invitation: Unlocking Digital Math for VI Students with LaTeX

[Isabela Figueira]

Join us on July 29, 2026 at 12pm PT for an interactive webinar about
accessible digital math! TVIs play a critical role in equipping blind and
visually impaired students for success in advanced math classes, which are
a gateway to rewarding STEM careers. We will introduce a little-known
digital code used for math textbooks called LaTeX. This code is easy to
learn, accessible, and endorsed by blind STEM experts.

What You'll Learn:

How LaTeX math complements braille skills and can increase accessibility in
college for students.

Practical, hands-on activities and resources to support your teaching using
a free website built for TVIs to explore LaTeX math called Access Digi Math
