[nabs-l] I devices accessibility

[Lavonya Gardner]

Hi Ashlee
THis is LaVonnya. I use an iPad for email, texting, calling people, and for my communication needs. There are apps that are set up for blind people. I down loaded it. I use apps for the blind, autistic, and for the deaf. I use the touch screen sometimes i use the blue tooth keyboard. U may email me off list, if u like. But I even keep notes on my iPad. 

NOTHING ABOUT US, WITHOUT US. AUTISTICS RULE
