[Nfb-science] anatomy and physiology course

Ken,

That doesn't sound right at all. Why can't the school attach a digital camera to the microscope, capture an image to computer and print it out on a swell form machine. This is a similar procedure I use to make telescopic images accessible. This would allow you to examine the visual images from the microscope by touch...the same images that the other students are examining by sight.

Subject: [Nfb-science] anatomy and physiology course


I was enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology 1 (lab and lecture) at Westchester 
Community College (WCC) and was forced to withdraw from the course because the 
biology dept. claimed they could not make the necessary accommodations.   The 
lab practical exam requires the observation of tissues under the microscope 
which I cannot do because of my visual impairment.  For the quizzes I was read a 
description of the tissue and identified it that way.  They will not do this for 
the lab practical exam, however.  Is there anyone that knows of accommodations 
that have been made for this class?

I am already in the fifth week of the semester which puts me one third of the 
way  through the class  so I would appreciated any help as soon as possible.

Ken
