N2 - Access to mathematical expressions have always been a particular
problem for blind and partially sighted people, and more widely
persons with a print disability, including those with dyscalculi, dyslexia,
dyspraxia and other perception or processing disorders. This has a distinct
negative effect in terms of careers possibilities for print disabled
people, since it excludes them not only from mathematical studies, but
from all fields that require mathematical knowledge, including all scientific
areas as well as areas using statistics. Since a couple of decades
many researches have been carried out to provide assistive tools that
help visually impaired people to overcome this challenge. This session,
created 16 years ago by Art Karshmer, includes in ICCHP 2018 eight
full and four short interesting and novel relative papers.
