[Nfb-science] High school biology help needed

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     I don't think a teacher should refrain from showing videos because they 
have a blind student. This hurts the rest of the class. Perhaps your 
daughter needs someone to describe them to her.

     VIEW International Foundation has a set of tactile diagram files on 
CDs. There are a number of biology related files. for more information, see 
the site:

Hope this is useful.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss, Executive Director
