[Blindmath] Susan Question on Graphing Calculators

Thu Mar 6 16:06:05 UTC 2014

This is an odd and frankly an inappropriate response. Are you blind or parent of a blind student? It is nice you have so many resources to money. Not everyone does. Keep this negativity off this thread. We get enough from the world at large. This is a forum for positive,moving forward thinkers.

Peace and Love to all!

I'm aware of disabled individuals and parents of disabled children who realized what they or their kids would need in the way of technology and other issues and put their nonproductive time to developing additional income so they could have the financial resources available to meet these needs. This is yet another option for funding the purchase this technology.

>> Yes, the school will keep it. As for Dars purchasing one, it has to make their approved products list before they do it, and it could be difficult because that Calculator isn't technology they routinely purchase for their clients. Four a piece of blindness technology, the calculator isn't that expensive, and if your son was able to get a scholarship for even $1000, he could purchase the calculator himself without having to deal with any agency or anything. He would even have several hundred dollars left over afterwards. I've never used one of the new ones, so I don't know if there any good. There was this one on the computer called the audio graphing calculator that I used at one point, and everyone was saying it was great, but I thought it was primitive and difficult to use compared to what my cited had. Now, I just go without one. Graphs really don't mean much to me anyways, so I get a lot more information from equations and tables of values. I do like the audio pgraphs better than the tactile ones assuming I can get the calculator to graph what I want without bringing up in error or graphing the wrong equation, So if I could see one without buying it and I liked it, I would try to get one.
