Graphing calculator? Any calculator? (self.Blind)
submitted by awesomesaucesaywhat
So I need a stats class for my major and I'm not sure how this will work with my vision. I am legally blind and use zoomtext on my computer, but I can't see any normal calculator.
Is there a calculator with a huge font that is black on yellow? Have any of you taken university math (without braille)?
I have emailed my disability counselor at the university but I would like to hear from other people how they managed this.

http://www.orbitresearch.com/orion-ti-84_details.php is an option if you need to use an actual calculator in classes.

Not exactly fully legitimate, but there are copies of the dev kits for various TI graphing calculators online ( https://sites.google.com/site/ti83interactivecalculator/Home has instructions for getting/installing one). My disability accommodations for school included using a laptop for notes/etc., and with some discussion with my professor, was also allowed to use this with exams. Our school library also included a CCTV magnifier that could have been used with a standard calculator.

I had a good experience with the above-mentioned Orion TI84+. It's probably improved since I last used it, I've always meant to try installing the latest firmware and see how it works. Highly recommended.

I used an actual graphing calculator. However, I had a large print out copy of key locations and for the screen I attached a teacher's overhead projector screen. This was not put on project but rather a white sheet of paper. This way I could do everything the same way as my classmates. It actually worked great.
