[blindkid] Easy page binding method

[Sherman, Becky (DSB)]

When I bind books, using a cone binder, I do it with my fingers.  It's
much faster and easier for me to fell.  That's not the best way for
some, but it works great for me.

Binding books with the comb binder is a difficult job I'll agree, but
she is 
only eight.  As her coordination gets better, her binding skills will
get 
better.  It just takes lots of practice.  I'd suggest to let her try
every 
time you make a book.  Maybe you could just have her line up the first
hole 
to start.  Or just let her do one sheet at a time.  I could be wrong,
but I 
think a sighted child at eight might have trouble doing this task, too.
