My awesome husband found books on Amazon cheap because they were not totY new, and were in paperback. He does have the scanning software, so he will be able to scan them for me. And I did find one on Bookshare. Well, goarta go, dinner's ready, but I'm so hastpy things will work out. God is so good!    Debby

I really struggled to find materials from Augsburg Fortress and other places in accessible format. I ended up having to read most things on my CCTV because I did not have access to scan and read software like open book to make my own books. Teachers were very understanding but it was really frustrating for me who likes to get things done on time and well. It was bad enough I didn't have support from the pastor we had at the time. I think his wife signed the paperwork for me to attend. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find someone with scanning software that can turn them into digital books. It stinks being the guinea pig for things but I've just resigned to the fact that's the way it is and we are here to make things better for the future generations.

But so far I have not fD any of the materials I need, except for one book on Bookshare. I'm so frustrated and tired of running in to brick walls, if you know what I mean. You know the scenario: either you don't get asked to do anything, or you do and then can't find the materials you need in an accessible format. I'm going to make a few more shone calls, and go to the local Catholic bookstore today. And Craig may be a to scan some of the stuff in for me. I felt such joy and excitement when first asked. Now I just feel fearful, frustrated and upset that I reY might not be able to do this for lack of accessible materials.    Blessings,    Debby

This group of children will be receiving their first —munion and ConfirmN next year. I'm very excited about this, and now will hopefully be able  to find the curriculum that Father wants used in an accessible format. I'm hoping between Xavier Society and Bookshare I'll be able to get the right materials. Please pray that I will be able  to find the materials, and also please pray for me as I embark on a very new ministry for me, teaching young children. I've spoken to classrooms of kids from kindergarten to 8th grade, so I'm okay on that score. I'll be teaching for this school year and then do a review with the children next year before they receive their First —munion. Prayers would definitely be appreciated. Blessings,    Debby
