[blindkid] School cane O/M issues

[Brandy W]

Nope! You are the mother, and you call the shots. You are the leader of the 
team. If you want her to use her cane, then she should be using it. I would 
write both teachers, and don't ask, but state that she is to use it. I would 
also have the conversation with her. Keep going. You are doing a great job.
