[blindkid] Wii system

[Penny McGuire]

Hi!  I am new to the group.  Penny, mom of Chandler (girl) 10 yrs old and 
totally blind due to ROP.  She too has a Wii and loves, loves, loves the Wii 
Fitness.  She also has MarioKart which is totally visual but she enjoys 
wrecking and the noices that it brings!  Of course, none of the Wii games 
are going to be designed for a blind child ( I don't guess or else it 
wouldn't need a screen) but if they find enjoyment out of it then so be it! 
I heard that the fishing game vibrates in your hand to let you know you have 
a bite but I don't think Channy is patient enough to just wait!  They fish 
would have her worm and be gone!!!
