[blparent] Needing some input

[Veronica Smith]

My daughter is sighted but yours truly is blind and the first thing I ever
did was go into the classroom, introduce myself and ask the teachers to send
all assignments to me via email as well as all announcements.  All her
teachers were accommodating except her fifth grade teacher.  He told me I
could use the website he created and I found out very soon it was not blind
person friendly.  It didn't take me long, though, before I contacted the
school board and they fixed that problem.

My name is Felicia Williams and I wanted to say thank you for welcoming me
to the group.  Like I said in my introduction message, I have a daughter
that is legally blind that is going to the first grade and this is very new
and somewhat scary for me.  I want to make sure that I make the best effort
as a mother for her by helping with homework, classwork projects and other
avenues.  I have Open book scanner software but I found out that it does not
scan pictures and no graphics that is on their papers.  Another thing, I
found out is that they will bedoing lots of reading, math, science,
spelling, and spanish.  I need to have all of the input, resources,
organizations, and other means necessary to help me in this matter.  Any
suggestions will be helpful.  I will email more information that I am
looking for once I reboot my computer back up.  I have the demo of Jaws for
the moment.  

Thanks, 
Felicia
