Questions: Is the TVI teaching my daughter braille certified? Can she teach
all aspects of Nemeth code.

Is she fluent with Jaws, NVDA and braille displays on a PC computer to
teach her all the Microsoft suite programs as well as the school platform,
internet searching and all aspects of how to make image documents into text
so she can access work as fast as her peers and complete it in as timely a
manner as her peers. Can she email work and receive work from teachers by
herself?

Is she completing all the same work as her peers in the same timely manner?
If not-why?
Does she do hours of homework every night and if so- why?

The PC computer and Office suite and google are they most used products in
the world--if she wants a job she needs to know these proficient with
talking software and a braille display. Is she on this path of learning
these skills.

How is she completing all her math assignments? Can she show all her work
in a word document that she can email to a teacher and can the teacher use
track changes to send back the work so your child can read it independently?

Is she fully independent in the class or does she need a para? What are you
doing to make her independent so she no longer needs someone helping her?

Those are a few questions you may already know the answers to and to ask of
her team

Blessings
