As things worked out, our Intermediate Unit has filed for a grant for assistive devices, which include an Apple 2-GS computer with an echo voic synthesizer, and an Image Writer printer interfaced with a Braille and Speak and a Braille Blazer embosser with B E X word processing. This equipment will be available at school. I am still undecided as to what to get for at-home IBM equipment. I will surely investigate some of the voice - read packages that you have suggested. Thanks very much for your time and help. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!273!722!Jim.Mclaughlin Internet: Jim.Mclaughlin@f722.n273.z1.fidonet.org
