Traditionally, blind students are paired with a sighted counterpart to serve as their eyes in the laboratory. Although this approach can be effective at completing laboratory course requirements, it does not instill in the mind of the blind student that they can perform these tasks independently.

Independence Science is committed to building the equitable STEM classrooms through the development of new innovative access technology solutions. Through our methodological and technological innovations, we are working to open more doors of opportunity in the science laboratory and other areas of STEM.

Independence Science Seeks High Expectations
John F. Kennedy spoke about the importance of science as he launched the space race to go to the moon in his speech at Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas in the fall of 1962. We believe in making these high expectations into a reality for all students.
