Abstract

What challenges do visually impaired students face when reading STEM textbooks? For a long time, mathematical equations have been inaccessible. New tools such as MathML and MathCAT are creating possibilities. At Celia and MTM we produce books for the visually impaired and people with other reading disabilities. We will discuss how we work on making STEM textbooks accessible and share our tips for publishers and users.
