<DIV><FONT size=5>are you signed up with the NLS Library, they will loan you a
player! However, we are now using the digital players! You download
the books off the internet and use a flash drive to put the books on, than you
put the drive in the player, than the player plays the books! Butthe NLS
still have the old players that play cassettes! Just call your local
state NLS and ask for one! They require an eye report either from the
doctor or your local DARS office stating your legally blind! Just wondering,
Hadley does not use the Macduffy readers to teach braille? We used them at
the CCB when I went and I used them at the Louisiana Center for the step
program! I think the NFB Center has them! I cant remember if they
are listed as free literature or not! They also have that low vission kit
they give out too! I can check with the independennce market off the NFB's
site to see! Heather </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Heather,<BR><BR> No, I don't
have a slate or stylus. It's been almost a year since<BR>this process
started, and I'm still a long ways from getting the help I've<BR>been trying to
get for over a decade. My vision finally got bad enough. I<BR>wrote
to the Hadley representatives today to find out about what I need for<BR>the
Braille classes, as well as trying to determine if the cassette courses<BR>are
regular cassettes or 4 tracks. I have a decade plus old
regular<BR>cassette player, and it didn't seem to work.<BR><BR>April

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

Heather,<BR><BR> Thanks for answering. I have
started a case with the State Department<BR>and asked for cane and technology
training. Of course, they claim they have<BR>no money, and are turning
almost everyone away. And all who are unable to<BR>work in a paid job,
which is most people, unless they live in a city, due to<BR>transportation
issues.<BR><BR> I do have Braille on my list of Hadley
