[Athen] Blind low-vision student needs to take physics class

[Ed. Rosenthal]

You may want to look at MacKichan's Scientific Notebook
http://www.mackichan.com/ .I believe the folks at MetroPlex computing have a
full interface using Dragon Pro, and they may have a low-vision/blind
solution as well http://www.metroplexvoice.com/ .-ed.

Hi All!

 

Have any of you ever had a blind/ low-vision student take a physics class?
We have a professor who wants this student to do independent work which
includes measuring and testing.  There might be some physics related
software.  Any suggestions on what works?  Types of Assistive technology we
could get to help the student?
