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

[Wink Harner]

Hi Joe,

Have you checked the resources at Univ. of Washington? Here's the link: 

http://www.washington.edu/diversity/resources.html

Go to the section for Faculty & Staff Resources. There is a goldmine of freeware
& technological solutions for math & physics for students who are Blind or
VI.

Blessings,

Wink
