I’m concerned with how to make the math accessible to him when he is very set on sticking with his Mac. Does anyone have any experience with VoiceOver reading math? Might it be able to read MathML adequately through Firefox?

Hi Jeremy,

VoiceOver+Safari reads MathML well in the maths courses I've tried. I did NOT have a good experience with VoiceOver+Firefox in more challenging pages.  It might be the browser+SR combo causing the problem.

Caveat emptor: I'm a novice with assistive technology.
