Abstract: The hands-on laboratory experiments are frequently what spark students’ interest
in science. Students who are blind or have low vision (BLV) typically do not get the same
experience while participating in hands-on activities due to accessibility. Over the course of
approximately nine months, common chemistry laboratory experiments were adapted and field
tested for use in a residential school for the blind. These adaptations most commonly used a
SciVoice Talking LabQuest and associated sensors, as well as other tactile methods.
