In a perfect world I would like a device that I can record poems into and she can listen to it with headphones or some inexpensive listening device! oh that she can operate!
This may not help, but when my daughter was dealing with a newborn baby that required feeds in the night, I sent her emails with poems I liked, particularly Yeats. She liked them, and said that it was nice for her to find them there in the small hours. I copied favorite poems onto a text site, and send them off to her in ones and twos. I had also put print-outs of them earlier on our cork-backed toilet, for sound suppression just off our living room (as well as to educate my daughters).
Can you think of some way to do this? The societies for the blind have options of big print displays, and the deaf societies may be able to help with hearing.
The Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. They provide you with a player with big clunky buttons that are easy to use (very low-tech), and there's a huge catalog of books available, and it's 100% free to those who need it.
We tried it with my mother who was an avid reader, but she hates audiobooks and didn't like it. Otherwise, it's a fantastic service. Also check with the Braille Institute for resources.
