#visualimpairment

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Just been in a meeting with my faculty's disability support people, where they said they were trying to buy an accessible scientific calculator for a visually impaired student to use in exams.

Googling, I found this - visionaid.co.uk/calculators/sc - which has the assistive tech margin added for a cost of £535!

Meanwhile, I know the Desmos calculator is accessible and free, so it'd be cheaper to just buy a cheap tablet or laptop and use that!

Are there any other accessible scientific calculators that they should look at?

I mean, they're not hard to make in software. I've made several myself.
