[blindkid] Victory in an NJ Town

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Everyone,

Just got home from an IEP meeting in a town in New Jersey.  We're 
feeling pretty good because the school agreed to Braille!  We didn't 
even have to take out the big--Hank Miller case--guns!  It took 
almost two years to get them to put the program together, but the 
student is now learning how to type, how to use a computer with 
speech, how to take notes and direct a human reader, and now will 
begin to learn Braille!

We, the mom and I, are exhausted but happy :-).
