[blindkid] Victory in an NJ Town

[Tammy Parson]

That is awesome!!! It took me a Due Process settled in Resolution a year ago to get my daughter braille and I just received a Prior Written Notice they are going to have her go back to reading print. I am livid and my daughter is devastated. She had just went from 29 wpm to 57 wpm in her braille reading and now they want to put her behind a CCTV. Congratulations on your Victory.

It took almost two years to get them to put the program together, but the student is now learning how to type, how to use a computer with speech, how to take notes and direct a human reader, and now will begin to learn Braille!
