[Athen] Graphic Novels

[Susan Kelmer]

I second Cath's suggestion - work with the professor. Graphic novels contain text/words, but there are also drawings, and you need to know from the instructor what, if any, of that visual content needs to be described for the student.  There is no one-size-fits-all for these.

I've found that it is very helpful to have the professor's feedback on the creation of accessible graphic novels - they may be hoping to emphasize something that might not be noticed unless familiar with the content.

Depending upon your student, they might be able to use the audio version that is on YouTube.

Greetings,

Can anyone offer suggestions for making graphic novels accessible? I have a PDF of one and will be scanning another. I don't have any specialized software, only Adobe Acrobat DC and Word.

I would be beyond grateful if someone has a file for this book and is willing to share.
