Then they will have no choice but to upgrade her. People do sell them to
other people if the district gives you permission. Also sometimes the
companies will do upgrades to the next device as a trade in and then the
cost is less for the new machine. Bran

Thanks Bran, I know it belongs to them and my daughter has it as a loan. I
would like to know if it could be sold, to make up for the expense of the
new one. If I go into a meeting this will make it easier for them to
consider getting a new one, rather than being stuck with a Braille Sense. We
live in a small town and my daughter is the 1st blind child going through
the system, so it's not that they can give it to another child that could
need or use it. 
She can use a flash drive for extra memory, but the BS it's not working with
a new printer they got her because it's not compatible, and the Window Eyes
is out of date, the upgrade is another $450 to make it work with Internet
Explorer 8, so she can not do assignments on the Internet. It's like we are
in a catch 22.

It is property of the district so you need to ask them. Essentially it is on
loan to her. If you were to move or something you would need to give it
back. Doesn't it take flash cards for more memory? Bran

Hello everyone,


My daughter 11yrs old and in 5th grade has a Braille Sense, she's had it
since 2nd grade. It is how she does most of her work for school and reads.
As it seems it does not have the memory she needs as her load gets bigger,
more books on it etc. We are looking at the possibility to upgrade to a
Braille Sense Plus, but not sure if they will be willing to invest in a new
one. When the School system got hers 4 yrs. ago the thought was it will last
her till high school. 
Does any one know if we can sell the one she has now? Any info would be
greatly appreciated


Thanks
Heidi
