Dave & Everyone, Thanks all for your replies. It's enabled me to help the gentleman who was enquiring on behalf of his son. Incidentally, has anyone come across anyone else trying to sync a laptop up with these digital smart boards? Regards, Léonie. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Taylor Sent: 29 May 2008 00:25 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Financial assistance for school students. Hi You'll find more expertise on this subject on the Abapstas list, and probably other ideas for sources of help: abapstas-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cheers Dave -------------------------------------------------- From: "Léonie Watson" <tink@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 8:05 PM To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Financial assistance for school students. Evening, I'd be grateful if anyone could shed any light on whether there are grants available for school students with disabilities. Specifically, a 13 year old boy who is looking to buy a laptop that will enable him to remain in mainstream school and access information written up to the digital wipeboards that his school uses. I know it's possible to obtain a grant as a higher education student, but I don't know anything about school students. Is the school perhaps obliged to help, or the LEA? Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.
