Lucas Mwanzia is in eighth grade. He started school at a later age because of his poor eyesight. But using the new technology, he can search the Internet for biology class. He says the technology has opened doors that once were closed. He says that Braille books are costly and you have to spend a lot of money to buy one. With computers, he says, the books are available at little or no cost. "So we download the books to read and when we are done we just close the program," he says. The school started using assistive technology six years ago. It enables blind and visually-impaired students to get information from computers and iPads.
