Our undergraduate program has a very talented Junior who happens to
be blind.  I will be teaching him programming languages, as embodied
in Lisp, Prolog and Smalltalk80(or some other OO language).

If you have had experience teaching these programming languages and
programming language concepts to blind students, I would appreciate
hearing directly from you.  I'm interested in teaching techniques,
mechanical aids, software aids, filters, and the like.  We have
access to human readers, speech synthesizers, RFB books-on-tape,
and, probably, a Kurzweil reading machine.

Thanks in advance,
