[Athen] online math access for quadriplegic

[Wink Harner]

Heidi et al great ATHEN-ites,

Can the student speak fairly clearly? Using MathTalk & Scientific 
Notebook would be a great solution for the input-output of homework, 
tests & quizzes. Student dictates using Dragon & MathTalk directly into 
MSWord. It would be possible, if the online portion is NOT accessible 
for student to dictate into directly, for the student to email an 
attached homework or test directly to the instructor. If student does 
not have use of hands at all, having him/her use the AT lab where 
someone can help with the placement of the headset or bluetooth mic 
would be helpful. We have asked instructors' permission to load their 
online access into our AT lab so we can "test drive" it with the student 
to make sure they can do it and so we can figure out what assistance 
from us will or may be necessary.

Hope this is helpful.
