I have a 14 year old student who has had an empower for about 5 years. She has seen/used the apex at a visit to the school for the blind and naturally wants the latest and greatest. (Don't we all!) but her family does not contribute anything to her technology needs, and the school is strapped for money. (Another obvious fact.) What are some opinions on the need to up grade to an Apex or continue to use the empower for this student- She is fully included in the regular ed curriculum. average intelligence, sense of entitlement, little appreciation for all that is provided for her to access the curriculum. I need to provide input to my supervisor. Thank you in advance for your help. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. -- Linda Russell Intervention Specialist Newcomerstown Exempted Village Schools 740-498-4151 ex:13207 Have you filled a bucket today?
