Tutoring vision impaired students

Hi Rob - Greetings from AVE Edmonton:

We have several students here at the college with vision impairments.  I have 
taught two totally blind students math at the lower levels - 
(fractions/decimal/percent stuff to basic algebra.  The lesson plan along with 
sample calculations and the questions to be assigned were brailled.  The 
student and I would meet and go over the lesson and the sample calculations, 
then she would do her assignment using a braille and speak computer.  The next 
day (or when she finished the assignment), she would give me a print out of the 
completed questions which I would check, then we would start the next lesson.

We have a number of large print programs (zoomtext, etc) and other adaptive 
devices in our area.  

Let me know if I can provide more info.
