has an X-Y Table and you rotate the camera to view the white board from
across the room. We have a 20’ TV attached to it, all placed on a
adjustable roll about table. We have three of these setups so we can provide
different locations for just the situation that you described. The web

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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></p>
