I (Dean Martineau) am part of a screening committee helping a donor wishing
to donate adaptive technology to one or more K-12 students who will use it
well and who would not otherwise be able to obtain it. This offer is not
limited to students in the US. Approximately $3,000.00 USD worth of
equipment can be made available, which can cover the price of some braille
displays, laptops, tablets and reading devices. There is a preference for
providing braille hardware, but all requests will be considered. If you
have, or are, a student who meets the criteria of potential effective use
and genuine inability to obtain the equipment any other way, write to
dean at topdotenterprises.com describing the student and his or her equipment
needs, concisely but thoroughly. This will be an informal and fairly rapid
process. If the right candidate(s) are found, they obviously will not
receive their new technology on Christmas, but they might be able to know
it is coming, and should receive it in January.
