Hi folks,

I thought you might have some input on this issue. I am a VI teacher in 
Asheville, North Carolina and I have a Braille student who is in the 3rd grade. 
We are starting to think about purchasing an embosser that can produce good 
math graphics. In the past I have done a lot of home-made graphics because her 
school doesn't use a textbook. For end of grade testing and benchmark 
assessments we have Braille materials professionally made. I think in the 
future grades her class will be using a textbook and hopefully we will be able 
to get it in Braille for her. My question is this? Do we need to get the 
technology to produce tactile graphics for her and what should we get?
