[Mdpobc] Fundraiser Campaign for SMART Brailler

[Kyle Richmond]

Has the school said this child would benefit from a Perkins Smart Brailler and/or needs a Smart Brailler to participate at school?  If so, why is this parent having to pay for this device herself?  Shouldn't the school be paying for this?  I don't know enough about this situation to make suggestions but just want to ask these questions!  Finally, parents of very young blind children, try not to set a precedent that you will pay for everything, let the school provide for what it legally needs to provide under the IDEA laws.

PS - the Perkins Smart Brailler does look super-cool, love the new technology and the T-shirt is adorable!

  Hi Trudy! My name is Amber and my son, Max, is a totally blind 3 year old. We are up in the Frederick area and he is enrolled in Pre-K already. I am trying to get the word out about a fundraiser I am doing in the hopes of being able to purchase him a SMART Brailler. It's a tee shirt campaign and I have attached the link below. Do you think you can send it out to the listserv? I appreciate your help getting the word out.
