[blindkid] Computer screen magnification

[Doreen Frappier]

We had Zoomtext added to one of the computers in the classroom to enlarge everything.  The TVI has to get it for him because it requires the district to purchase a license.  There's a product called iZoom that's like a flash drive that plugs into the computer he's using. Read about it on the link below.
