[Blindmath] SAS, SPSS, Stata

[Roopakshi Pathania]

Hi Philip,

Before learning any statistical application, be reasonably sure that it is going to be used in your course.
Besides, the statistical application that you are going to work on will most likely depend on what is installed on your College computers.

Since you asked about SAS, try these links to read the instructions for SAS to work with a screen reader.
You will need to install Java Access Bridge since SAS is Java based.
