Mitzi: a visually impaired student cannot depend on the reader, this
is not done and should not be done.
Jess: If your student has a medical ishur for being visually impaired,
preferably from Bitu'ah Le'umi, then the ministry gives him everything
he needs: separate room for the sound in the dictionary to be on,
personal reader or taped, etc. depending on his skills and abilities
as well.
You should contact the center for the Blind in Jerusalem and ask for
their help and advice, they do it all the time with special computers,
special programs, texts, tapes, etc.
You can talk to Oded, say I sent you, 025882155
All the best, Adi
