[blindkid] Does your child have an Acrobat or similar styleCCTV?

[Heather]

"the Carry Mate?"  Mind if I pass that along to a TVI I know?  I don't know 
why she doesn't know about it already.  Well, yes I do.  She's awsum, but 
she also lives in a very rural area and serves three blind kids spread out 
over a large county, and, that might explain it.  Thanks for sharing.

My 9th grade boys have a portable CCTV, the Carry Mate that attaches to a 
laptop. The laptop also has ZoomText. They carry this equipment to all 
classes throughout the day. It is not as good as a regular CCTV and can not 
be used for long term reading, but for short readings and some distance 
viewing, it works pretty well.

Quick question,
If your child uses an
Acrobat<http://www.enhancedvision.com/index.cfm/pid/207/Products/Enhanced/Vision/Acrobat/LCD>or
something similar, where is it used?
If they move from class to class, does it go with them to all classes?
What about specials like art or music?
Do they essentially have free access to it or is the times they are allowed
to use it dictated by the school?
What grade is your child in now and when did they start using it?

Long story as to why I'm asking :::sigh::::

Thanks!
