Since talking to this students teacher she advised me that the best choice for now is the Light-Touch Perkins Brailler.  And then maybe at gradation consider a Notetaker.  I ordered the Light-Touch and called American Printing to check on the order and they told me it was on backorder till January.  Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one of these prior to December 20th?

Also I wonder if she would be willing, or a representative from the group would be willing to do a road trip to Washington IL on December 20 11:30 - 1:30 when we have a Christmas party for Ashley and be able to speak to her directly there. I believe with Ashley's ambition and determination the group may be a great fit for her.  She would also be a great ambassador at ISVI to direct other teens your way.
