Welcome to Independence Science
Our mission is empowering students of all ages who are blind or low vision (BLV) to have a hands-on, fully participatory experience in science classrooms and teaching laboratories by providing the latest in access technologies and consulting services. We enable, support, and promote barrier-free learning environments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Through our products and services, we are making it possible for the wide array of access technologies that have been developed and tested over the last several years to be made available for use in mainstream science classrooms as well as residential schools for the blind. We have extensively researched the use of adaptive technologies in teaching science curricula to students with BLV and have been instrumental in developing various innovative laboratory tools and methodologies.
Independence Science LLC serves clients across the United States from elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities, state rehabilitation agencies, and parents of students with BLV and the students themselves.
