“As a blind student, I often encountered the misconception that drawing, and the visual aspects of math and science were either impossible or a waste of time. This perspective completely overlooks students like me who are visual learners. My mind thrives on pictures, despite years of teachers and professors trying to fit me into the memorizer box typically assigned to blind learners.”

“During my pre-med studies, my physics professor and tutor made it clear that engaging with drawings was essential for understanding the subject. Thankfully, with the help of TactileView software, I can now access and interpret these visual concepts through touch, allowing me to fully participate in my studies.”
