Hello Lisa, I have been sharing the doodle pad with a number of adult students who lost vision as adults. All of them are reporting a lot of enjoyment in drawing again. Two students have used the pad to supplement their basic English skills in explaining things they wanted to tell me or ask me. It is a very good low cost tool. And, I think it can help develop tactile skills in a fun way too.

I had an opportunity to play around with some friends. We were drawing pictures and writing notes to each other, I was surprised how accurately the gray furry yarn held the line. I passed one along to our new President of Parents of Blind Children division and she is going to share it with her child and the other families. Many thanks, we will keep you informed. I am sending this along to her also since she is interested in joining our list. All the best. Ann
