[blindkid] My Technology Journey

[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Parents,

I hope all of you are doing well.  I wanted to tell you about my 
journey to use assistive technology.  In elementary school I was 
introduced to the Perkin's braille writer which I used through my 
seventh-grade year of middle school.  I also began learning how 
to type on the computer using the Taking Typer program.  In 
eighth grade I received a BrailleNote M-power from Humanware.  
The BrailleNote opened up some new doors for me at school.  It 
took away the need to carry braille paper and have my TVI 
transcribe assignments for my ighted teachers.  I now have a 
BrailleNote Apex, IPad, and IPhone all of which I use daily.  I'd 
like to hear about the techildrenlogy journeys of your children.
