[blindkid] Do I need to keep old schoolwork?

Hi;
You could have your son use his braille note to email you his work.  You will open it up on your computer and it will be in print!  You could just then attach/staple it to his hard copy braille so that he can have memories and work that he can access and you can understand it, too!  It think it is important to keep both a hard copy and print copy of the things you have decided to save.

Carol,
I feel like I know you because I have read do much of what you have written!
Is there an easy way to convert what Caleb has Brailled into print? That would help me know what to save!
He is in 3rd grade and does most of his "writing" on his Braille note.
