[blparent] school issue again

[Judy Jones]

Okay, things are becoming clearer.  I take it, then, that the charter school 
is using all hard copy and no digitized books?

You are correct and how do we go about finding out why we as parents don't
have access to books to help our children get educated the way we want too?
I will have some help, but wish I did not have to depend on as much help.

All,

Again, my understanding is that Diana is blind but her child is not so her
child cannot get a BookShare membership.  Textbooks are often made available
from NIMAS, and there is possibly some additional restrictions because of
that process.  However, it would be good to know for certain what the issues
are, as blind parents should be able to get accessible copies of texts to
assist their children.  There are some complexities here, though.

Best regards,

Steve
