Beth Pieters to Everyone: Many others think that the student can see and read print, so that's what they should use. Not knowing the accessibility of braille.

Beth Pieters to Everyone: I've had students not want the braille option.

Michelle Fornell to Everyone: interviewing the parents on preferences and how the student accesses print at home

Rosalinda Martinez to Everyone: Most parents/students prefer auditory

Araceli Rubio to Everyone: The parents sometimes give conflicting information that does not match up with what is being observed at school.

Rosalinda Martinez to Everyone: Less time to have to work with their child

Araceli Rubio to Everyone: Easier and possibly at the end of the day fatigued

Robin Dinerstein to Everyone: Stigma for Braille

Christy Horan to Everyone: easier to access

Lea Chesney to Everyone: Perhaps familiarity

Michelle Fornell to Everyone: can multitask

Kathy Jakul to Everyone: End of day fatigue is definitely a factor.

Michelle Fornell to Everyone: Sometimes parents will read the materials instead of their child being independent

Kimberly Avila to Everyone: Electronic version of documents, assignments, and materials in accessible format.  Many of our schools here are simply not using paper format and students are doing their work electronically in many cases.  But the accessible piece is key.

Araceli Rubio to Everyone: Nice chart!

Kimberly Avila to Everyone: Electronic maps are being used by many of our students with albinism, whether on the iPad, Chrombook, computer, or personal device.

Amy Dufour to Everyone: what web site your are using for maps?

Emma Reese to Everyone: Is this student learning braille at the same time they are learning print visually or are they having direct braille instruction to learn the code?
