Today Frankie and I met with his TVI, from the Carroll Center, at the library to use the CCTV there. He had used one at the Perkins low vision clinic once and one other time at a friend's house, but just for a bit. The one at the library today was old, and black and white. I was surprised, but it did the job.
Frankie picked out a Curious George book (that we had not read yet!) and we put it under the magnifier and read the words and discussed the pictures. Frankie's TVI asked him what he thought about black writing on white or vice versa. He said white on black, which has so much less glare! I could see the white words on black better myself. She was asking him about the pictures and he enjoyed it and liked to move the book around. He also liked experimenting with the buttons. : ) At one point he was looking at a helicopter on the CCTV screen, when she took the book out and asked him where the helicopter was, he said he didn't see it.
I felt like it was great for him to get more exposure with various technologies. His TVI said we will continue to experiment and expose him to technologies until we find something that works best for him and will aid him in elementary school. So I feel like it was a good start and he is on his way! We also enjoyed exploring a new library!
