Adaptive Tools and Technology for Accessible Mathematics

The goal of this class is to provide students with the tools and techniques needed by a visually impaired learner in order to be successful in a regular high school math course. Unique adaptations will be provided for the blind and low vision learner. Students should leave the program with new adaptive skills and with knowledge about resources available to assist them in future learning.

Topics to be covered include:

• number lines
• graphs
• geometric figures
• measuring
• talking calculators
• talking/large print scientific graphing calculator software
• Microsoft Excel with JAWS screen reader (in selected classes)
• Internet exploration (in selected classes)
