- My daughter is legally blind and has a similar problem. We contacted
- AURORA, formerly The Light House, and they had several sources of software.
- However, most were very expensive so we opted to just put the money into a
- 20 inch monitor. This has worked well for us. AURORA has offices in most
- parts of the world. Check the directory of the nearest major city and give
- them a call. They may even find a way to finance the change.
