Would you mind sharing what list you are on?


"When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping 
them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things 
we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in 
our lives."
- Fred Rogers

> Hi all,
> I am on another listserv for parents of blind children and a mother
> recently posted that her 3-year-old daughter is unable to get more
> than a half-hour per week for blindness services (TVI and O&M
> combined) because her daughter has some usable vision (20/200) and the
> TVI thinks she doesn't really need services. The mom has already
> purchased a cane for her daughter, so I suggested she look at some of
> the books and articles by Joe Cutter and others about early childhood
> O&M and ways that parents can teach it themselves without relying on
> the school. I also referred her to the POBC division in her state (PA)
> and she has contacted them. However, she said that she was recently
> laid off and would like to find literature that is free of charge or
> low-cost. Do you know if it is possible to get books by Joe Cutter or

> Thanks!
