Abstract
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.
