We have a program where schools are able to lease high-end assistive technology they otherwise would not have access to, namely CCTVs. One such example, Nii, is an elementary school student in Gahanna who uses a Connect 12. This unit has enlargement capabilities and distance viewing, and is portable as well, allowing Nii to take it with him throughout the school day.
Schools are taking advantage of our school telepresence program, allowing students with cancer or other disabling medical conditions to participate in the classroom, even though they are not able to physically attend school. One student, Allie, attended from home and Nationwide Children's hospital in Columbus.
