Hi -- My stepfather, Stan, is a sociology professor and has a blind
graduate student who is going to be taking his statistics course.
Since Stan relies heavily on graphs (of density functions and what
not) in teaching statistics, he's trying to figure out how to get
the same ideas across by other means for this student.  Anyone
out there have any relevant experience?

Thanks, Dave
