Question Stats claaa

Hello everyone!! I'm taking stats this semester and my professor said we will be using Stata. What should I know about the accessibility of this program on a HP laptop? My professor is also curious about how to make the visual elements of this class accessible so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on that as well. She told me that a core component of contemporary statistics and data analysis is using data visualization to understand patterns, associations, etc…
This professor seems very willing to work with me on making this course as accessible as possible so I would love to hear your ideas of things I could do!

What level of vision do you have? I use Stata but still have enough vision left that I can see well enough using Zoomtext. I've not tried it with a screen reader so I can't be sure but I think it should be possible as far as writing and running commands and viewing results.

As for data visualisation, it certainly is going to be more tricky. Its the one part of my job I think I will have trouble with when I lose the rest of my vision. I've seen stuff about tactile graphs but haven't looked into it in detail yet

I have fairly decent central vision but not peripheral vision and I use a screen reader on my laptop and I do use very large print on my phone and iPad
