Abstract: 

Today studying mathematics and science for blind students is still an
open problem both in Secondary school and at the University in so far as it concerns
the effectiveness of teaching approaches, methods and devices (1) Many
national and international projects have given a contribution to bring different
technical solutions. But, at least in Italy, these solutions are not effective yet in
the schools, probably because human, social and organizational aspects have
not really been taken into adequate consideration. Here a new method will be
proposed, a method which will put forward new technical solutions for editing
scientific books and documents but essentially will give adequate answers to
operational and practical problems.
