You may also want to ask them to reply in writing about their reasons for 
denying your son braille.  Also, recording meetings is important.  It can be 
exhausting to keep all the records but it is important.

I forgot to mention he is 8, and his VI teacher in the last school said he 
was the best Braille Student she ever had he was picking up learning letters 
& words quickly.

,
I am hoping this group can assist me in finding an Educational Advocate my 
son has been denied learning Braille by his school district. The last three 
years he attended Oklahoma City Public Schools, during his last year he was 
learning Braille. This Summer we moved, so now we are in the Mustang School 
System which is partof the Oklahoma Metro Area. My son has Aniridia with his 
visual acuity being Right-20/320 and Left-20/252. I requested papers to 
start an appeal yesterday. I know nothing about Oklahoma Education Laws, and 
have been informed the School System is getting there attorneys together.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated I need to make sure he is not 
dangling behind. I am concerned he will become frustrated & drop out of 
school one day if he does not get the proper educational help he needs.

Thank you,
Britta
