Tom, I had a student that was completely blind in my class. The first thing that I would recommend is that you contact the student and arrange an appointment with the student and ask him/her what special needs he/she may find useful.
Films were often okay for the student that I taught because he listened to them. You may just have to be more descriptive with many of your overheads.

The text and readings will be available on audio tape, but I am looking for TIPS, which is the point of this list. The major difficulty is that I make extensive use of graphics in the lectures (graphs, pictures, diagrams, etc) and routinely use video clips to make points. I have been in touch with all of the obvious offices and agencies. > > Comments, suggestions, advice, etc. are welcome. > > Tom Hershberger > > Thomas J.
