While the app came out after I had already graduated from high school, it has been a game-changer for how I get accessible materials in college both inside and outside the classroom and remains one of the most used apps across all of my devices. Well, Microsoft made my wish come true with the Microsoft Office Lens app. So I started to develop the skills to create my own accessible materials and adapt assignments as needed and wished that there was some app out there that could make things easier for me in the classroom. However, the reality was that if I didn’t do an assignment, I would be treated just like the other students and given a failing grade, even if the reasons I couldn’t complete it were out of my control. ![]() ![]() This used to frustrate me a lot in high school, because I felt that if I couldn’t access something, it meant that I should be exempt from having to complete the assignment or whatever the task was at hand. As a student with low vision, I have received classroom assignments and papers in inaccessible formats more times than I can count, even though I have disability accommodations that enable me to receive information in accessible formats.
