My kids are 8 and 10, we live in Raleigh NC area, my 10 year old really
needs to
get on the ball as we she will be entering Middle next year,
although she could
use her iPad for almost everything they do here at the
middle (I'm a braillist
at the middle).  I do know some blind adults/young
adults, I will look into that
option!

Thanks,
Traci
