Individualized Teaching In Composition: Finding Answers To Access In Speech-Language Pathology, Robin Everett
Student Theses and Dissertations
Accessibility in Composition has been an obstacle and topic of discussion at the forefront of Composition studies for some time. Looking through the lens of my past profession, Speech-Language Pathology, I discovered individualization may be the answer to the problem of access. Implementing elements of individualization into Composition can provide opportunities for students to reflect on and practice awareness in their writing to yield higher retention and improvement. Individualization means getting to know students, their needs, and strengths in order to craft a class that is tailored to that class’s specific set of students. This study delves into the connections …

Art and design have far-reaching capacities for generating shared language and connecting people and communities. The creative forms we study at RISD are powerful means for conveying ideas and shaping experiences across habituated boundaries. Today we see those forms resonate more than ever before in the multilingual, culturally heterogeneous, digitally interconnected spaces around the globe. In fact, the democratization of communications media has made it possible for long marginalized voices to join and substantively transform our public discourses. The resulting body of critical knowledge has focused attention on interlocking systems of privilege and disenfranchisement entrenched throughout our social institutions, including …

A Direct Tex-To-Braille Transcribing Method, Andreas Papasalouros, Antonis Tsolomitis
Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities
The TeX/LaTeX typesetting system is the most wide-spread system for creating documents in Mathematics and Science. However, no reliable tool exists to this day for automatically transcribing documents from the above formats into Braille/Nemeth code. Thus, visually impaired students of related fields do not have access to the bulk of study material available in LaTeX format. We have developed a tool, named latex2nemeth, for directly transcribing LaTeX documents to Nemeth Braille, thus facilitating the access of blind students to Science. In order to support the extensive set of Mathematics symbols covered by TeX, we propose some new symbols based on …
