This would seem to bring up different issues i.e. how core is the ability to
be able to read graphs to the course/placement - is it absolutely essential
that the student is able to read the graph himself - is it a core competency?
Or could he use a support worker or colleague to access the info? This is
usually seen to be a reasonable adjustment for our visually impaired students
on clinical placement.

Subject: Reading Graphs
Dear All,
I have been contacted by a student who has limited vision and he is being
asked to read graphs as part of a bank of tests for placement. Even if these
are enlarged, the lines seem to move and so reading information is becoming
difficult. Does anyone know of any software that can be used to read graphs
or any low tech equipment that might help?
Many thanks
Jayne
