Hello,
I am a special education teacher and an assistive technology specialist. In
my current position I handle alternative text needs and assistive solutions
for all disabilities at the post secondary level. I have some ideas that
you might want to consider for your son, and would be happy to discuss them
with you off list as they are not applicable here.

Subject: [bookport] Implementation of BP for ten year old
I have ordered a Book Port for my ten year old son. He is severely dyslexic
and uses RFB&D for textbooks and recreational reading. He will be taking
his Book Port to school every day. I'd like simplify our implementation so
that he can take responsibility for it, as much as is possible for a ten
year old.
Can we, and should we, use multiple flash cards; like one for school related
files and one for recreational reading?
Can we load reading material from more than one PC? I am thinking that
books will be moved to the BP from his home PC, but other text (such as from
a website) may be taken from a school PC.
If he makes voice recordings, can these files be copied to his PC?
His teacher expects students to be able to take notes from a book. We would
like to try the audio version of this, by listening to a book and making a
voice recording of important points. How difficult is it to go back and
forth between listening to a book and making voice recording?
Any advice on simplifying our implementation is appreciated. Thank you.
