[blindkid] Fun Seated quiet activities

[Marie]

Thank you all so much! I had already started carrying a little recorder around with us. I had reasoned to myself, much like Richard said, that this would provide Jack the stimulation a child without visual impairment could get from looking around and it wasn't much different than providing a child without visual impairment some books to read.BUT we are not often around other children with visual impairment except at group events designed to entertain the kids so I felt a little odd about my idea. And with a few harmless comments here and there from other people (kids these days have so many gadgets, how did our parents survive?) I wondered if I was just being silly.
Thanks again!

I know about recorders, we had every recording device there ever was for our daugther now 11. She went trough the Sony little hand held ones which now are only sold on the internet, Best Buy would not give us the extended warranty any more after the 5th one.  We had books on tape and lots of music tapes that we put on a little tape player, like when we went to a restaurant and she would put her head down on it and sit for hours just listening, and she was not particularly one to just sit. 


This worked for us, hope you find something that works out.
