OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — A blind Miami University student says school technology has hit her with a barrier.

Junior
Aleeha Dudley of New Paris says in a federal lawsuit she has had course
materials inaccessible to her text-to-speech software, and that she
hasn’t received material in Braille or other forms she can use without
help. She compares that to a public place with unneeded entrance steps
and no ramp. Her U.S. District court lawsuit says Miami failed to
provide her equal access.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1gEywH8 )
reports she wants Miami to expunge her grades, pay her tuition and
costs to repeat three school years, and to pay other damages and relief
determined by the court.
Miami University says it tries to accommodate needs of the disabled, but won’t comment on the specific
case.
