<p>I am looking for iPad apps that a blind student can use.</p>
<p>My student is a middle school female who is also cognitively-impaired. She needs help with basic math facts, second grade spelling, and reading comprehension.</p>

For the first time in my memory, we will have a blind student in our school this year. A friend of mine, who will be the young man's teacher, was told that she must provide all handouts in braille. So what's the problem? In order for documents to be translated, they must be submitted to the district six weeks in advance!<br />

I have been trying to brainstorm easier ways to communicate effectively with the student and with parents. I suggested to my friend that perhaps she learn more about podcasting and consider using them as an assignment communication option. Surely there must be more options out there. Here are some of my questions.<br />
<br />
1. If you have ever used podcasts as a means to communicate assignments to blind students and their parents, could you please share your experiences?<br />
<br />
2. What other technological tools are there out there to make this kind of scenario easier for teachers, students and parents?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
