[Athen] Creating and delivering a presentation as a blind student

[Matthew Deeprose]

Hi Colleagues

Our student disability and inclusion team are supporting a blind masters student who will be undertaking a 90 minute viva. Part of this is the delivery of a 30 minute presentation using visual aids such as a PowerPoint presentation.

The student has never done an activity such as this before, and is not familiar with PowerPoint.

I would be interested to hear any experiences, tips, or strategies that can be used by the student and those who support the student. And any suggestions of software that might help. The student is reasonably confident using Narrator and Jaws, but this is more for consuming content and writing emails and documents.

Thanks

Matt
