Colleagues,

I thought you might appreciate the resource below, then read on for my request.

For a 50% scholarship in purchasing assistive technology:
http://www.blindcitizens.org/assistive_tech.htm

I am looking for resources similar  to this one on purchasing assistive technology for those who for whatever reason do not qualify for vocational rehabilitation funding. Any suggestions/websites are deeply appreciated.


Sincerely,
Elizabeth Sammons

December is Safer Toys and gift Month.  The South Carolina Commission for the Blind offer these tips when selecting toys for young kids: select toys appropriate for child's age, select toys that don't have sharp, projectile or protruding parts and check to make sure toys meet national safety requirements.
