Hi Thomas, What would be fun for you to develop for young blind kids is a game I used to play, my mom had to read the screen, but it was called Maths Blaster. There were different Maths puzzles, multiply, add, subtract, divide, rounding off, fractions, etc, but the fun part was also the games. Example, there was one when you answer a sum right, you help a little man build his space ship to fly in, and at the end you'd hear the man walk to the ship and the ship fly away, you'd also get a certificate, gold for perfect answers, less colours for less answers. Then there were other games where, when you answered enough sums you'd run around a board eating doghnuts not trying to be caught by a baddy, and one where rubbish would fly accross the screen and you'd have to shoot it. Maths and spelling games must be made fun for kids, bril sound effects etc, and instead of letting them use JAWS to read it, use fun entertaining voices like cartoons. If you could exhibit it at conferences, I don't see why schools and stuff wouldn't buy it, but maybe it would be a good idea to develop it with the help of teachers who can divide up what kids of different ages would know.
