[blindlaw] Visual Aide

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

I am of the opinion, that this "nonstandard" use of the term visual aid
means, in context, anyone or anything with vision being used as an aid.
To me, the crux of this issue is whether a program designed to teach
blind persons how to function independently of sight means that the
skills must be learned without any *visual* aid.

Would someone please explain this nonstandard use of the term "visual
aid" to me? My dog is not a powerpoint presentation.
