[Athen] V.I. student in Vet Paramedic program

[Kestrell]

If the student has an iPhone, there is a microscope app for the iPhone, although I'm not sure how it stands up tot he pricey stand-alone assistive tech devices in magnifying power.

As for drawing, the American Printing House for the Blind has a number of tactile drawing aids. If those options look expensive, one could use wicki stix, pipe cleaners, craft wire, etc., to create tactile drawings and then use braille labels to indicate important points.

  Oh Learned and Esteemed Athenites, I appeal to your vast collective knowledge:

  We have a student, legally/medically blind with very little vision, enrolled in our veterinary paramedic program. This program includes a lot of lab work, including using a microscope to identify various specimens, etc.  Although I've placed CCTVs in her classrooms for other work, I'm wondering how to accommodate her for the work needed using a microscope!? Not even sure how we would accommodate her when the course work gets to drawing blood, etc.

   

  We're open to suggestions.

   

  Regards,

  Norma Jean
