  1. Our daughter uses Lamp with a special device (PRC Accent) since she’s also blind and needs the tactile grid over the screen. Thankfully our Speech therapist and pediatrician knew how to get our insurance to cover the cost. It’s not quite night and day, since there are some things she wants to say that are not yet on the screen (82 cells, she’s using about half of them), she’s getting pretty good at finding what she wants to say, and we’re trying to see if she can learn the layout of a braille keyboard, so we can connect it to the device for her to have that extra input (I experimented with a cheap regular keyboard to see if how it works first).
