<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>

super-cool, love the new technology and the T-shirt is adorable!</FONT></DIV>

SMART Brailler</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto">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. </SPAN></DIV>
