I've used the Click-lock which, I believe, I bought from Maxi-Aids.

We have used a push button padlock or one with a key.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a hallway locker for a low vision student,
no keys please. Has anyone ever used the 150/40 combination padlock?
Thanks.

Independent Living Aids has a push-button padlock. My district has purchased
one (or two; if they need a gym lock as well) for each of my students. It
can be set to a number that they (and you) will remember.

I like the Klik-lok padlock. MaxiAids sells them. It is a combination lock
that is lever operated. Works well for both low vision and blind students.

Hello Tom and List,
There have been a number of good ideas shared on the list. I would add
that there is a key resource at APH called the AMP. The Assistive Media
Producers list is a database at APH of braille transcribers.
And the college contacts Frances Mary mentioned who would know of
additional candidates are leaders at Northwest Vista College's program
in San Antonio, Texas. Northwest Vista, AFB and the Texas Education
Agency partnered to design and develop an extensive college series to
train people to become a Braille Textbook Transcriber. This was a joint
project Frances Mary and I worked on together (smile). You will find
more contacts by emailing two key people involved with the current
college series at Northwest Vista. Contact Melanie Marchand from
Northwest Vista College at mmarchan at accd.edu or Vivian Seki from ESC
20 at vivian.seki at esc20.net
Encouraging districts, colleges and agencies to focus upon the future
and build a new path for professional development that includes braille
transcribers is critically important, but is not always recognized as
crucial to good programming. Businesses, colleges, school districts,
etc. all need to look ahead to find new opportunities to train people to
become qualified braille transcribers. AFB's work in literacy and
education found through national research that there is a significant
lag in recruitment skills and efforts to find qualified braille
transcribers and to build the "new base" of qualified people. At the
same time, states identified the need as crucial. So, in 2005, AFB,
with support from Verizon Communications, partnered once again with
Northwest Vista and moved the series to an online focus. Another
important partner that supported this effort was NCLID at the University
of Northern Colorado. You can find more about AFB's national research
in this area at www.afb.org/education.asp go to AFB Solutions Forum
section.
The Northwest College series is now provided online through three
semesters. AFB partnered with Northwest Vista and spearheaded the
development of this new online career. This unique and rewarding
curriculum is conducted entirely online through Northwest Vista College
in San Antonio, Texas. Students are required to successfully complete
three multi-disciplinary semesters to receive the Braille Textbook
Transcriber Certificate. The first cohort began in August 2006 with a
full enrollment of 20 people from six states. The new cohort begins in
August 2007.
Tom, this Braille Textbook Transcriber program provides students with
the necessary general education coursework, applicable workforce skills
and transcribing experience to successfully perform tasks required in
the basic braille transcription of K-12 textbooks. Graduates will be
able to read and write braille; demonstrate proficiency in transcribing,
braille formatting and proofreading; use basic tactile graphic
production methods; possess knowledge of production technology; and use
successful small business practices.
For more information about this career opportunity, visit Northwest
Vista College at http://www.accd.edu/nvc/areas/braille
. The braille transcriber
curriculum brochure is available at the college Web page above or at
AFB's Web page at www.afb.org/education.asp
at the braille transcriber
section. In addition, you will find a career recruitment video and
materials to help you in recruiting people.
I commend your district for knowing there is a crucial need for
qualified and certified braille transcribers as part of the district
team to serve students with visual impairments.
Best regards,
Mary Ann

Where do transcribers gather?
Thanks, Tom

This was from an email on a listserve. I thought you might find it
interesting.. not much, but a bit. Someone posted a question on how
to find braille transcribers. I know that you might no longer be
interested in getting info about this, but just in case, I thought
I'd send it along.
