Today, technological interventions can utilize universal designs that help students with visual impairments learn and do science more easily. Join Bryan F. Shaw, Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Baylor University as he discusses key tools and interventions like the use of light-scattering tactile graphics (“lithophanes”) as universal 2D graphics, oral somatosensory perception of 3D models, and expands the discussion to include the design of 3D printed tools and robotics that make science experiments accessible to people with diverse physical and visual abilities.
This ACS Webinar is moderated by Cary Supalo of Educational Testing Service and Annabelle Lolinco of Iowa State University and is co-produced with the ACS Division of Professional Relations.
