My 7th grader has the Acrobat and a laptop with zoomtext.  He has access to it whenever he needs it.  He knows which teachers use the board and which ones make handouts so he chooses when and where to use it.
It's a lot to carry...

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!
