Original Kurzfassung:
Modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has changed our style in getting access and also in performing things. In terms of education we have learned to use ICT as a means for reading, writing, communicating, searching, arranging and solving problems.
People with disabilities and in particular blind people benefit a lot from these new possibilities as they can make use of assistive technologies (AT) to get access to ICT and thereby work integrated on the same sources of information as anybody else.
Doing mathematics, solving mathematical problems is one area where ICT and also AT are not employed in the same way as for other areas. Doing mathematics is still very much "paper based". ICT and AT is used intensively to get access, to read and also to write mathematics. Communicating mathematics between sighted and blind people and especially doing mathematics with a computer – solving more complex problems – is still an area asking for increased attention. Blind people are still at a disadvantage in this area.
