[Blindmath] MathType Question

Hello,

I am a high school resource teacher serving a visually impaired student. Math is his area of weakness, we believe that it is partially due to spatial awareness issues. He uses Word and MathType combined in Algebra 1 class. When using the two, he clicks on a problem from the Word document which in turn goes to MathType. He works the problem and then copies it back into Word. This is cumbersome for my student. Is there a way to streamline this process? From what I have observed, MathType has a limited number of vertical lines it will accept, so he cannot use it as his primary mode for turning in his homework. Reading the problem from Braille and transferring it to MathType is tedious, and he often makes mistakes in transferring it. I look forward to many great ideas!!

Have a great day - Kate
