[blindkid] BrailleNote use

[Penny Duffy]

Home use is covered under IDEA its not uncommon for school districts to
resist.  You are being responsible to request.  Many students have their
equipment like note takers and computers available for home use to. My
daughter has a braille display, a Perkins Brailler, Lots of paper, abacus.
The talking calculator says at school unless she needs it for home work and
then they send it home.

I don't know if this answers your questions. I know some parents
have struggled with this issue. If they let him bring it home for the
summer than it really shouldn't be an issue during he school year since it
directly needed (or could be useful) for homework.
