| Abstract: |
A brief experiential report of teaching a student who is blind from birth in an Introductory Astronomy Online Laboratory for non-science majors. My approach includes the use of Braille books by Noreen Grice and NASA, 3D printed tactiles based on designs shared by colleagues in the Astrolrnr listserv relating to selected lecture tutorials by Edward Prather, and assistance provided by my institution's Access and Accommodations Center with Braille printing figures, graphs, and sketches that I had modified from our in-house Introductory Astronomy laboratory manual. With prior training in only general accessibility and universal design I will highlight specific lessons learned. |
