[blindkid] Fw: seeking help

[Kelly Doty]

I received the following e-mail from a TVI and am hoping someone on this list can steer her in the right direction for a graphing calculator that fits her student's needs. Please e-mail Anita at aforbes at kidsroe.org.

Thanks much,
Kelly

I met you at a NFB parent seminar last year in Chicago. I was there with my student, Alexa Schwichow, who you had in your teen break-out sessions.

I have a question and hope you can direct it to the right person.

To function with her peers, Alexa needs a graphing calculator with the capabilities of the TI 84. She has only light perception so the output has to be auditory. Her needs are way beyond the talking Orion TI 36X. We bought the audio-graphing calculator by View Plus, and that sooooo does not do what we need. Help help help. There is no reason that this student should be stopped in her quest to be all that she can be!!

Feel free to send me suggestions for further investigation/ or post this request  on any websites for other NFB member viewing.

Thank you Dotty!
