[Athen] alternative format questions regarding blind student who does not know Braille

[Madeleine Rothberg]

I agree with Dan - when we encounter poetry, we recommend making two versions so the student can listen the whole poem without numbers, and reference the numbers when needed.

The poetry issue seems fairly simple to solve: create two versions, one with line numbers and one without.

For the map, you'll probably find best success combining tactile graphics with a Talking Tactile Tablet (www.touchgraphics.com<http://www.touchgraphics.com>) or IVEO (www.viewplus.com<http://www.viewplus.com>).

I'm trying to problem solve some conversion issues for a blind student who does not know Braille.
