Anita, What are your employment goals?
For starters, you may want to write a letter which indicates how the purchase of a BrailleNote will help you perform your job. When I asked VR for a BrailleNote (for use with Braille real-time captioning in my college classes), I wrote a letter explaining how the BN would also help me in other areas. (i.e. access to campus computers, the ability to create/edit writing assignments, send/receive e-mail to communicate with professors, etc.) I also asked my local dealer if I could try a BrailleNote for a couple of weeks so that I could document my experiences with the device and explain how a BN would best fit my needs. In a sense, you're building a case much like a lawyer does. The more information you can document, the better. Good luck!! Lisa
