I have heard of a "smart pen" but don't really understand it. And DD really can't write much by hand so I'm not sure how useful it would be for her. I spoke to the AT specialist and she said there are ways of recording a lecture/conversation/interview, etc and marking parts of it so you can revisit the portion you need rather than listening to the whole thing. Has anyone worked with this technology? Any input to share?
We've had DD use an Echo-- she doesn't like it, and part of the reason is the extra bulk/weight of the pen, and the fact that it is a standard ball-point pen (not a gel pen)-- this may matter to kids with sensory issues, or those who fatigue easily. DD is in both of those camps.
It does work well, however-- the pen records an audio track that corresponds to images of the page of notes-- which can be uploaded to a desktop computer (and maybe to mobile devices now?).
