For making math and science materials accessible to students with
disabilities, please see the National Center on Accessible Media's (NCAM)
software at: http://ncam.wgbh.org/cdrom/guideline/

Also, MIT has developed a physics course for students with low vision or who
are blind. NCAM should have the details on this course as both organizations
are in the Boston, MA area. Check with http://www.ncam.org. In fact, when
you go to the homepage, you'll see the link for the math and science
software at the very top.

Hi AXSLIB folks,

I am the Coordinator for Library Services to Users with Disabilities at the
University of Texas at Austin.  I have students with visual impairments who
need to access math books, journals etc..  We have Kurzweil but it does not
do well with printed mathematical formulas/equations.  Does anyone have any
software suggestions?

Thanks,
Michele
