For those of you in classes where high school teachers or professors use a lot of these charts, how do you or your TVI's make them accessible? Speaking here from a totally blind student's perspective. i have a very, very good psychology professor, but am not sure how to help him help me, if that makes any sense, since all of this was done for me in high school. I should have been taught how to do this kind of thing so I could explain how accessibility staff can make charts and graphs useful for me.
Speaking of accessibility services, I would like to be able to give suggestions to them, as they haven't had a completely blind student before now. Suggestions I have been given thus far are:
put information from the flow chart in list format
use an excel spreadsheet
and,
create a table in Microsoft word
If anyone has other ideas, please, feel free to share them. I want to be prepared as much as possible for this in future, as I have this professor again next semester for a class on the psychology of death and dying. thanks.
Psychology of Death and Dying? Good lord that sounds depressing. Sorry. (smile)
Anyway, these sound like good ideas. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what exactly a flow chard is so I'm not sure how to give good advice.
My mom is a super visual person and loves crap like that so when I talk with her later, I'll get a good description of a flo chart and hopefully come up with some good ideas.
Thanks for the feedback, would love to hear more from you in future on this matter.
No flow charts, but a few graphs. Today's sets of graphs dealt with the dying trajectory and one other thing I can't remember. I have the tactile picture-maker from American Printing House. can anyone give me pointers on exactly how to use that to make graphs? not just the X and Y axes, but the representation for different pieces of data, too.
