Hi
There's been quite alot of work done on this over the years, so trawling the
web should help. A good first step might also be to contact the regional
RNIB Advisor - see
http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/PublicWebsite/public_eecentres.hcsp
Some general pointers to help get an idea of the issues and how they've been
resolved in the past include
http://www.rit.edu/~easi/math.htm
http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/visugate/public_teachsci.hcsp
But info becomes out of date very quickly in this kind of area, so people on
here will probably be able to offer more up-to-date advice from working with
current students.
