[blindkid] ipod touch/nano/cell phones?

[Bo Page]

We bought our daughter a Apple Itouch and it's amazing what it can do.  It has a 
screen reader built into it. It screen reads everything and makes it easy to 
access links on the internet.  I got this as a precursor to the cell phone, 
which was 50% more and wanted to test her ability with the ITouch first, because 
the cell phone requires that you purchase internet access too.  The Ipod Itouch 
has wifi.  My daughter is a senior and I won't let her bring it to school 
though.  My feeling is the younger you start them using technology the better 
are the chances they'll want more of it, and for a blind person, that is 
everything!

Subject: [blindkid] ipod touch/nano/cell phones?

Hello all,

My son is turning 12, and wants an iPod Touch or a cell phone for his
birthday.  We are probably not going to go there for another year or two,
but just in case we turn soft, does anyone have any advice about
easiest/most accessible brands or type of phones and/or any experience with
blind kids and iPods?

thanks!

Lynda Zwinger
