[blindkid] the first blind student

[Joy Orton]

Richard,
I wonder if you have had an opportunity to share "Making It Work" by Carol
Castellano with Kendra's teachers. I highlighted a copy for Ahbee's first
grade teacher. She was so great in working with our daughter. I've given
copies to other teachers since then as well. I don't think there is a
section on food-stealing :) but it is definitely helpful for the
professionals to read, and it articulates the NFB philosophy very well.

BTW, I don't get a commission from Carol. :)

Kendra is the only blind child in the school, and to my knowledge the?
only blind child that either her regular ed or special ed teachers?
(this is a co-taught classroom) have ever had. Because so many things?
are new to this situation and especially to both of these teachers,?
many things are being learned and done "on-the-fly" the first time?
they come up.
