[Athen] Help!! Low vision and music scores

[Wink Harner]

Both Sibelius and Coda Finale have screen enlargement capabilities and are commonly used in music composition classes & orchestral scores. See what your music department is using for this class. Could be THIS would be the accommodation needed for the class. Also possible to get the software on a tablet for mobility purposes for her. Worth a look-see, in any case, Heidi. Then ask Bill at Dancing Dots (smile).

Subject: [Athen] Help!! Low vision and music scores

 

Hello all,

 

I'm needing your expertise and ideas on some accommodation options for a student we have. She has low vision, uses screen magnification. She is registered for a music orchestration course, in which she will have to read orchestra scores. Thus, screen enlargement won't work for her to be able to see multiple lines of the score. The only option I can think of is Dancing Dots. But music and a student with low vision to this extent is not a  combination with which I've dealt in the past.

 

Any thoughts or ideas on how we can accommodate her? Because of the program that she is in, this is a fundamental course for her degree.  

 

Many thanks for any assistance you can provide!!

 

Heidi
