[NABS-L] Suggestions for Algebra and Science Class

[Emily Schlenker]

Hi. It sounds like you are doing everything that you should do as a student to be prepared. I am somewhat concerned, because I really think you should speak with your college and explain to them that you are going to require additional resources. Having limited resources is not a reason for you to meet denied your materials. my question is, how do you function with math? Do you require braille or are you comfortable working only with a screen reader? You are entitled to the textbook that is being used by your peers, none of them would be expected to do the class without it.
I am not sure this is what you want to hear, but it is the reality especially in math and science where access to materials can often mean passing or failing what are many times required classes. Sent from my iPhone

I have thought about a few options on how to get the materials in an accessible format for me to better understand but would like your thoughts and suggestions too. I have an embosser, an InTact drawing board and eraser with the special paper, and a sensational drawing board. I also have JAWS, MathType, and Duxury on my Windows computer. Are there specfic programs or other suggestions you may have to successfully make the math and science accessible? I am attending a small private college, where they have limited resources.
