[Trainer-talk] Urgent: please sign this petition to help a blind kid!

[Beth Koenig]

Sorry about it being off topic. I am having Nathan practice some of
his letters on a Braille N' Speak APH Scholar in addition to the
brailler if that helps. I am also looking into computer games, he is
almost to the point of being able to resist pushing all the keys at
once on the laptop. If anyone knows of preschool software that is
really worth spending money one for a blind child. Let me know please.
Thanks,
Beth Koenig

Nathan has every hope of being able to be mainstreamed. However, in order to give him the foundation to succeed he first needs to learn the adaptive techniques of the blind. He also has to learn things like how to learn over a bowl, make friends, and so many other things that we take for granted every day.
