[Athen] Engineering and Computer Science Resources for visually impaired

[Corrine Schoeb]

A new student who has a visual impairment (my very preliminary
understanding is visual tracking issues) will be joining our student body
next semester.  This student is interested in engineering and computer
science.

Are there particular tools or techniques I should become familiar with?
Are they any particularly good resources you've found for visually impaired
students studying engineering and computer science?  Is MathML a better
tool than LaTex?  Are there especially good sites or guidelines for faculty
to use when creating assignments?

On a different note - I ran across this and wonder if it is still pertinent
as it was last update in 2008:
