I have a blind student in my chemistry lab. How is the student going to participate and be graded in their lab work?
When it is impossible for a student to independently carry out certain manual or visual tasks, the OAE generally will hire a laboratory assistant for the student. The student is expected to direct the lab protocol and provide the lab assistant with explicit instructions for performing the various tasks. In turn, the lab assistant can give a detailed verbal description of the experiment in process as it is actually happening. Some laboratory equipment has audible output (talking voltmeter and conductivity meter etc.) that may be operated independently by a student who is blind.
