Hi Cheryl-
Just got the Vol. 26, #2 issue of Teaching of Psychology and they have
a short article on teaching stats to a blind student by William Gibson
& Chris Darron@ Northern Arizona University. May be a good starting point.
Also notable in this issue is an article by our own Pat Cabe, and an
interesting article on published research from liberal arts colleges.
A number of colleges represented in TIPS land are listed including
Skidmore, Union, Colby, Willamette, & Beloit.
