Comments

• Rehab counselors can help people connect with victor stream (not a free item but a good rehab counselor should be able to get it)
• Library for the blind has a device also and a large selection of books. (Free just need a doctor to state a person is blind or visually impaired)
• A local NFB would be helpful in finding help also. They often have companies that will show screen readers and magnifying devices.
