That is unfortunate because everything in excel and how to do math in excel
is required in school of all students. The schools that allow pencil and
paper--and it is not many, the sighted students can get away with drawing
their graphs out, but that is not an option for the blind so they use
excel--that is if they want to do exactly the same work as their peers
totally by themselves--which after all is the goal. If they can't do it all
by themselves, and they don't learn how then why would someone hire them if
they say "oh, by the way, I have to have sighted help to do---fill in the
blank here. Not only that, excel helps the blind learn math to the highest
degree enabling them to go as far as they want in knowledge. Excel is
incredibly powerful

Drag and drop helps students understand the power of what each cursor does.
This type of routing enables them to go into webpages and access what
others call "inaccessible"

If you go to my youtube channel, you will actually be able to watch kids
doing all the things people say "blind can't do"--that is a fallacy. The
blind can do anything the sighted can in school with the right technology
instruction which enables them to work independently and go onto those
dream jobs they want.
