Ron are you still forwarding information to this mother? I would love to correspond with her. Many adaptations to equipement will depend on just what the daughter is able to see or not see. Legally Blind is a large category of children. Also, it will depend on how old the daughter is. Most children who are legally blind have delays in fine motor development. There are many adaptations such as light boards, velcroing pieces, sensorimotor activities, shiny objectt, etc. This is where a local vision teacher is very handy, we have the Lion's club providing one in our area and their ideas are great.
