[blindkid] accessible reading comprehension

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Here is the link to show your school how easy it is to do--this is a
virtual lesson so not only did I connect to the student thousands of mile
away from her, and you are watching her computer through my computer doing
the actual AR test--you can see how easy it is whether through ears or
braille display https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK0AzKeHFiA

here is a link to the books, site, etc-- http://www.renlearn.com/ar/

this is how the student's log in from online:
