Using Commercially Available Techniques to Make Organic Chemistry Representations Tactile and More Accessible to Students with Blindness or Low Vision
Supalo, Cary A.; Kennedy, Sean H.
Journal of Chemical Education, v91 n10 p1745-1747 Oct 2014
Organic chemistry courses can present major obstacles to access for students with blindness or low vision (BLV). In recent years, efforts have been made to represent organic chemistry concepts in tactile forms for blind students. These methodologies are described in this manuscript. Further work being done at Illinois State University is also described that allows a student with BLV to independently make properly Braille labeled structures from the organic chemistry online database via ChemDraw.
