We have a number of students who are braille users and we are
claiming the cost of the braille production from the LEA's.
We have one student who is a braille user and is studying Maths - the
cost of the braille production is very high as the LEA have to cover
the cost of a Maths specialist who is also an Maths braille
specialist. We have not found any software whch will tackle the
degree level Maths and so the braille is prepared on a Perkins -
again very time consuming. It is likely that the NMH allowance will
be gone well before the end of the year.
We have not yet claimed for the cost of exam papers in braille. We
are looking into this at the moment and would welcome any info.
regards, Marie

Has anyone persuaded an LEA to cover the cost of brailling from DSAs?
(As NMHA perhaps?)
