Subject: teaching acoustics to a student with low vision From: "Ferguson, Sarah Hargus" <safergus@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:48:29 -0600 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Hello all - I have a student in my Physics of Speech class this semester who has a visual impairment. We've worked out a number of ways to help her access the material, such as enlarging text and having a note-taker in class to get all of the board work, but are stuck on the lab portion of the course. Most of lab activities use Multispeech and involve having students reading waveforms, spectra, and spectrograms. Does anyone have any experience with/ suggestions for ways we can help this student be able to reap the benefits of this hands-on portion of the course? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Sarah Hargus Ferguson, Ph.D., CCC-A Assistant Professor Department of Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences and Disorders University of Kansas Dole Center 1000 Sunnyside Ave., Room 3001 Lawrence, KS 66045 office: (785)864-1116 Speech Acoustics and Perception Lab: (785)864-0610 http://www.ku.edu/~splh/ipcd/Faculty/FergusonBio.html
