[blindkid] Wii system

[Debby B]

Winona is the champion fisherman (woman?) at our church's father/child fishing expedition every year. She has the patience to wait, although she really doesn't have to wait long. Fish seem to gravitate to her.

Hi!  I am new to the group.  Penny, mom of Chandler (girl) 10 yrs old and totally blind due to ROP.  She too has a Wii and loves, loves, loves the Wii Fitness.  She also has MarioKart which is totally visual but she enjoys wrecking and the noices that it brings!  Of course, none of the Wii games are going to be designed for a blind child ( I don't guess or else it wouldn't need a screen) but if they find enjoyment out of it then so be it! I heard that the fishing game vibrates in your hand to let you know you have a bite but I don't think Channy is patient enough to just wait!  They fish would have her worm and be gone!!!
