Hi All,
Does anyone know where I can get the raised lined pages of the alphabet and 
numbers which are sometimes used for training purposes? My friend would like 
to learn to use the Optacon, but she has been blind since birth and 
therefore, has never learned print. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks.
Jo
