Do you have a link?  The Raz-kid program is generally an at home with some
at school work during iPad time. Its a classroom by classroom decision if
the program is used and ofcourse her teacher loves. They do have a few
netbooks in the school that Abby could use.

AR is  VERY accessible and most likely the school had it but maybe got rid
of it? or still does and they are just trying this? With AR--accelerated
reader, the child reads a book and can take the test on their own with
jaws, braille display right online...that is the way my students do it.
Very easy...ask about it--ironically it is used across the country and is
one of the most popular way to access kids
