Daniel’s story: Thanks to teacher Eva, my son has faith in the new semester with his reading aids
The memory of primary school usually consists of lovely friends, interesting handcrafts, vivid classes, and bright sunshine in the classroom. Nevertheless, primary school life was not so rosy for Daniel Wilson when he was in the third grade. The probability of glaucoma in children is low but not zero, and Daniel is one of them. He was diagnosed with pediatric glaucoma during an eye examination.
The parents accepted the situation very quickly and coordinated with the treatment actively. What bothers them is that Daniel became sensitive to the strong lights and had blurred vision which influenced a lot on his school life. Meanwhile, Daniel became increasingly reluctant to go to school. The twist came when Eva, Daniel’s teacher, sent Daniel a Zoomax Snow 12, the assistive technology for the new semester.
Daniel’s school life recovers to full of joy and relaxation with the device. Teacher Eva would prepare digital materials that can fit Snow 12, so Daniel can import files into the device and read more conveniently. He can see the words in the book by magnifying the image on the screen and won’t feel excessive eye strain anymore.
The father mentioned that Daniel used to enjoy the art class most, but the blurred vision of glaucoma brought a lot of trouble to do detailed crafts. Now he can enjoy doing handcrafts again with Snow 12 on the stand. Eva is glad to see that Daniel adapts to the device well. She represents that all the teachers would care about low vision kids at school and she’s pleased to help.
Talking about the product, Daniel’s father said the whole family was satisfied with the functions of magnifying and text-to-speech, which are truly helpful for Daniel. The parents don’t expect their son to be the one on the top. All they want is that Daniel can have a happy childhood. They believe Daniel could be able to learn happily with Snow 12 in the classroom.
“Thanks to teacher Eva for providing such a good device for my son. We really appreciate it and we don’t even know how to express our gratitude.”
According to Daniel’s father, Zoomax Snow 12 is definitely a useful magnifying aid for students with poor vision. Daniel is in the fourth grade now, he can go back to school confidently every day with his Snow 12.
