Hi,
I am Catalina Colaci and have been a silent memeber of this listserv for
some time. I find the information exchange very helpful in my work as a
coordinator of services to students with disabilities at Yukon College,
Yukon, Canada.

Through one of the lists I participate [Adaptech], I received the
following posting. Perhaps you can assist this student in South Africa.
I have searched the Blind-dev archives but did not have much luck.

Please, forgive the cross-postings. Thanks in advance. Bye, for now.  CC

Hi all!

I am a 3rd-year Psychology student at the university of Stellenbosch
in South Africa.  This year, statistics forms part of the sylabus and I
am experiencing some problems with obtaining the needed
materials.  We did manage to obtain the handbook in text format
from the publishers, but the translation in Braille is so poor that most
of the math is not even rendered.  The part that does come through
requires some serious desifering on my part!

Could anybody point me to some resource where one can obtain
propperly accesible stats materials, whether it be in Braille,
computer text or tape?  All info will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Laurent
