Scholarship for Students with Deafblindness:
Jake McMahan
Jake McMahan is a student at the Georgia Academy for the Blind, Macon, Georgia. Jake lost his vision as an infant and partial hearing in fourth grade. He used his scholarship money to help purchase a PAC Mate, a braille note taking device which functions as a computer with a braille display and digital speech. Digital quality speech will make it easier to assess auditory information as Jake continues his academic studies.
