Hi all

Our dean has asked about the possibility of having a blind student in a science lab course (a requirement for a BA in most majors here). I searched the Phys-L archive and found some useful comments from 2000 but wondered if anyone had any experience with this since then. This could be any lab course, biology, chemistry, physics, geoscience at any level.

This reminds me of Galileo's rolling ball on an inclined plane.** The copy I saw in the Academia's room devoted to Galileo (This was before the Science Museum.) had(s) bells actuated by the ball spaced appropriately for equal timed dinging. An exploration lab not requiring sight with moveable bells and adjustable inclination easily done?

bc hearing challenged, but still well sighted. Laudate Deum for closed captions!
