April:

Have you contacted someone from your state's "I Can Connect" program?  They can supply with the equipment and software you need, plus training on that software.  Many consider JAWS to be the gold standard in screen reading software.  Please inform us what state you live in, and we can help you if you wish .  One of the things we do is assist in advocacy efforts.  You are on the right track, asking all the right questions.  It won't happen overnight, but the things you need are available to you.  We are here for you and we are very glad you found your way to us on this list.

I know some states like Louisiana run out of money at june  or something, they have to wait till the fall to get more money to run the services!  Do you havea perkins brailler or a slate and stylus?  I know our NLS program here in Texas used to lend the braillers out from the library!  Did you contact the local NFB chapter, it helps to have support to justify what you need! You can get a free cane from the NFB.  I know hadley gives out free abacuses when you take the course but I don't know if they give out slates or not!  Heather
