<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am interested in how you all provide CCTV access in
multiple classrooms throughout the day for an individual student with low
vision. A student I currently work with has no vision in one eye and
limited vision in the other. The student uses a magnifier at times but
relies on a desktop CCTV in the classroom for textbook viewing. The
student registered for two classes and we were able to arrange for them to meet
in the same classroom. We anticipate in the future scheduling two or more
classes for the same room may not be possible. Another issue is the type
of CCTV the student wants to use. Initially a MyReader unit was placed on
an adjustable table in the classroom. The student did not like the fact this
unit did not have an X-Y table and we therefore replaced it with an Optelec ClearView
unit that does have an X-Y table. So far the student had not complained
about this setup. However, the student indicated a desire to have a
closer view of boardwork. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The Optelec ClearView is not easily transportable.
Even the MyReader is relatively heavy for a portable. We may be able to
have our AV department move units from classroom to classroom on a schedule but
they typically roll units (TVs, computers, etc) into a classroom on a cart and
plug them in. I would think that for optimal viewing of a CCTV it should
be on the student’s desk. Should we expect AV to lift units for a
cart to a desk and visa versa several times a day? Is there a special desk
cart that would provide sufficient work space beyond the CCTV? It would be
ideal if the student could carry a unit into the classroom and set it up on an
adjustable table. Do any of you have experience with any of the Clarity
products that have near, intermediate and distance viewing? Any other
suggestions would be welcomed. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
