Progress in making applied theoretical chemistry research accessible to blind and visually impaired (BVI) students will be discussed. These efforts have so far entailed extensive work on making computer/software interfaces accessible and in the development of 3-dimensional printing as a tool for tactile �visualization� of results from quantum chemical calculations. In addition, ongoing efforts to implement a 3-dimensional scanning protocol will be described.
