<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Working with a totally blind student who has concerns about the accessibility of in-class materials for their STEM-heavy comp sci classes. I’m still very early in discussions with the student and instructors to determine what the content
of the materials includes, but wondered if anyone here has worked in this space and could advise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Student uses a Graphiti tablet and has asked if we would consider remote access so they can use the tablet from home. While I want recognize this tablet might be clunky to cart in the to and fro, I’m also curious if there are other methods
we could explore to provide the same access in the physical space (where their peers are interacting and collaborating).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts, recommendations and/or success stories welcome!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take care,<o:p></o:p></p>
