[Athen] Pearson Accessibility team requesting brainstorming

[PATRICK BURKE]

Hey Hadi,

If it's not too late, I'm ready to join this discussion.

I don't know much, except we had a multi-volume braille economics textbook
in our office that someone must have needed for a class in 1997. But no
blind student ever took that class again. So eventually I used the empty
parts of pages to transcribe meeting notes. But those graphs were very
cool... So I think I know what info we want from the end-product, whether
audio or tactile....

Good luck making it through the heatwave!
