Hello Debee, I asked a friend at HighCharts to suggest a few examples for you. HighCharts has several levels of accessibility and are working with me and others on specs to make automatically accessible graphs. They are good people, and I hope you find helpful examples here.

Hi John, thanks for thinking of us!

Here is a demo that has a human created overview description: https://www.highcharts.com/samples/highcharts/accessibility/accessible-line.

The folks at TextBox did write a guest blog post for us on image descriptions of charts, where they give some examples: https://www.highcharts.com/blog/tutorials/accessible-descriptions-for-interactive-charts/.

We do have detailed computer generated descriptions as well, but it is still a work in progress. We just did some work on that for CSUN, where we computer generated descriptions of trends in scatter plots.

Have a great rest of week!

We have some blind students taking statistics. I need examples that I can freely share with the instructor and our stable of tutors.
I know of some great graphs with detailed descriptions done my Cengage but they are behind a paywall. I need some I can easily share. I need the actual graph along with its description. Perhaps someone has done this as part of a research paper or dissertation.

Does anyone have a link to something like this?
