[blindkid] computers as school credit

[Rosina Solano]

Just wanted to give an update to all those that have been helping with this issue.  We had Roman's IEP today.  While I wont get the final copy to go over until Monday, I believe we had success.  Tech issues were finally addressed, we have been in stone ages and school agrees!!  Thank you Dr. Robinson for that!!  He will get training as well as using at home to build more skills.  Somewhere along 2-3 hours a week with REAL tech teacher you know who you are!!  We also addressed braille reading speed and getting it faster up to par with Jimmy Johns rate that I presented.  And to sum it all up we just might get summer O&M training at a summer program.  That will be addressed a little later, but tired of him being pulled out for so much time lost.  
 
I really had more ground to stand on with him failing a course and they were very accomadating after talking to Dr. Robinson and with wonderful Garrick Scott from Georgia on speaker phone as advocate, thanks Garrick!!  
 
Just wanted to say thanks for all the support my family community on here has given us over the years.  Yea, way to go.  This set up will also benefit Ethan as they realize they have to get him started way sooner than Roman.  YEA YEA YEA!!!
