Providing Accessible UML diagrams

Hi,

I am trying to determine what is the most efficient and effective way to
provide a good understanding of UML (modeling
<http://sourcemaking.com/uml/modeling-it-systems/external-view/use-case-sequ
ence-diagram> ) diagrams to a visually impaired student. I did some research
and I only found one viable option besides the text description route. There
is a product called TeDub <http://www.alasdairking.me.uk/tedub/index.htm>;
and it claims to be an accessible UML. I was wondering if anyone had
experience creating accessible UML diagrams or flows. Maybe someone has used
the TeDub application or knows how to export accessible diagrams from
Microsoft Visio or other applications?



List of some extra resources I found:
