[Athen] Reading graphs

[Lissner, L. Scott]

The student’s past experience, or lack of it) is going to be a determining factor.   Broadly

  *    there are equations the describe graphs but require unusual math skills
  *   Tactile graphics (raised or embossed lines)
  *   Visual descriptions
  *   Manipulables in 3D
  *   Sonifacation (cool but a very unique skill set)

You might look at american Printing-house for the Blind. And the royal national institute for the blind in the UK

Dear All, Hope your summer is going well. We have a student who is a Jaws user who is going to take an economics class with a lot of graphs. What thoughts and ideas you have to share would be great. Thanks Lorraine Lorraine S. Norwich, BSME,
