I checked the EASI website, but did not find what I was looking for.
I have a daughter with NLD (nonverbal learning disability)which effects spacial understanding.  I am looking for something that would allow her to do her math on the computer as you would on a sheet of paper.  In other words, typing in the numbers and having the computer line them up neatly and legibly.  Then the student does all the work of multiplying, carrying, adding, etc. and gives their answer, so not a calculator.  There is a product called Math Pad, but the one that can allow you to do multiplication, division, and factions is about $100!!  It is a software.  

Now I know there isn't a big market for this type of product and that is probably why it is priced so high.  I also know that getting services, and resources from the school system (especially during this present time of budget crisis- I live in the City of Rochester) is like pulling teeth and they didn't even really want to give her an alphasmart, but she had been using it for years at her old school and so it was continued.  I know that she deserves these things, and that the school district should rightfully pay for them, but if I have to pay a lawyer to come with me to an IEP meeting then I might as well just pay for it myself.

I was just wondering if there was another product out there that is cheaper.  I saw something similar for around $30, but it was only for Macs and neither I nor the school have a Mac.  Has anyone seen anything like this?  I have heard it can really improve the math work for children with NLD.  The other option is to write to the maker of the product and ask for a gift or discount.  I'm kind of shy about it, but I will do that and grovel if necessary.  I just don't know how successful that might be.  It was suggested to me by their customer service and she was very nice, sympathetic and helpful.  I'm sure it's a wonderful product but right now I have to pay for catholic school because the city schools are so huge and not very safe for these girls given the disability and other factors.

Thanks for suggestions.
