[blindkid] Large Print Texts

[Doreen Frappier]

Stacy,
The majority of large print texts that come the boys bring home are in black and 
white. Occasionally, they are done in color, but not often.
They are in high school and their reading level is comparable to their peers. I 
usually ask for a copy of the regular text for color pictures, and sometimes the 
large print books have mistakes in them. We have a CCTV at home if they need to 
see any pictures or maps in detail. I hope this helps.

Doreen

My daughter Adison,7, is in 1st grade and has low vision (currently 20/200
corrected). I had been asking for large print texts to come home for us to
complete homework assignments for months(and yes, it is in the IEP).
Finally, one was sent home. I was a little shocked to see it was black and
white photocopies of the regular print text.  The books were to be ordered
Fall prior to the start of school, and supposedly have been ordered for
next year. Per my call with the publisher, they are available. What have
any of you experienced?

Thank you,
Stacy
