<P class=MsoNormal>Greetings:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>A student who is blind is planning on taking an Astronomy introductory course at our University. The material is very visual. Has anyone had any experience with this type of coursework? The primary textbook, <I>Universe</I> by Freedman and Kaufmann, consists of numerous graphic representations, photographs of stars and galaxies, etc. I would very much appreciate any suggestions of how to depict this type of information for this student. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We are also looking for a Braille version of this text book.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you for any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></P>
