Hello, my name is Teresa Pilgram. I live in Port Lavaca, Texas (an hour and a half south of Houston, TX). I am a TVI/COMS. I was an educational diagnostician for over 20 years prior to this job and an English teacher before that! I currently have 2 braille students and several other students who are low vision only. I am working hard to learn technology to keep up with my older braille student! He is learning how to use the Mantis and JAWS currently. He is very far behind in math, so we are still doing basics for that. I am looking forward to learning about the Monarch and hearing of your experiences and expertise!! To me, AT is a fun, but somewhat intimidating challenge!!
