[Arizona-students] how to accomodate a blind parent of a sighted child?

[The BlindTechs Network]

Hello:

my daughter is in first grade and is 7 years old.

I have since the beginning of the school year have asked for some type  
of accessible material so I may help her with her homework, etc. it  
finally took me emailing the entire board of the school district, and  
although no one from the school district admitted wrong doing, it gave  
them an idea I wasn't going to give up so easy so they started to  
record the homework instructions on tape. but the tape recorder  
stopped coming home, they claimed it was broken. and although the  
teacher says she has a new one, it still hasn't came home for some  
reason.


I asked if they would be willing under section 504 or 508 to ask the  
publishers for an electronic copy.

I am not sure if this situation falls under those laws but it was  
worth a try, at first they were totally against it and claimed no  
matter what they didn't have to accommodate anything. they said  
because she wasn't in special ed, she didn't have to get accommodated,  
but I am the one requesting it so I may help her with homework etc.

we tried the whole recording on tape home work instructions, but the  
homework is so graphical and the teacher is so paige, I can't sifer  
what exactly she is expected to do.

any ideas please?
