Supalo, Cary A.; Kennedy, Sean H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Organic chemistry courses can present major obstacles to access for students with blindness or low vision (BLV). In recent years, efforts have been made to represent organic chemistry concepts in tactile forms for blind students. These methodologies are described in this manuscript. Further work being done at Illinois State University is also…

Supalo, Cary A.; Mallouk, Thomas E.; Amorosi, Christeallia; Lanouette, James; Wohlers, H. David; McEnnis, Kathleen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2009
A brief overview of the 2007 National Federation of the Blind-Jernigan Institute Youth Slam Chemistry Track, a course of study within a science camp that provided firsthand experimental experience to 200 students who are blind and low-vision, is given. For many of these students, this was their first hands-on experience with laboratory chemistry.…
