[blindkid] Braille note

[Steve Craig]

We got the approval of the use of a BrailleNote this year. My daughter is 14, but because she also has some temperament issues also, we have not yet decided to let her have it. Her school waits until they are at the high school level before letting them take home. She has used it at school and says it is a very helpful tool. We hope she can mature enough to get it next year.

I know in our district the students bring their braille notes and or
laptops home. Many kids use them for their homework. They are provided by
the district.  I am pretty sure IDEA mentions home use. I don't have the
wording.  I am just dragging it out of my memory. Which could be wrong.
