[blindkid] Technology and Little Kid

[Heather]

it is frustrating to see the play abacuses for mainstream kids, because the 
beeds don't stay put.  They are just fun to slide and look at, but not 
functional.  I'd love to find a real abacus, with the larger beeds for very 
young fingers and bright colors, but with the resistance and set up to make 
them functional.
