Steve is a lecturer and Disability Officer in the University of Nottingham. He will talk about the difficulties experienced in teaching graduate level physics to students with severe visual impairment. In particular he will discuss the problem of presenting mathematical and graphical information to blind students. At present there are no easy solutions, but a useable system has been implemented.
