[blindlaw] Fw:AccommodationandComplianceseries:TheADAAmendmentsAct of 2008

[John]

I don't know if you are being called a liar or not but I think it is going
to be a very long time before anyone recognizes martial arts training as an
accommodation or adaptive  training for the blind. It sounds similar to the
echo effect used by a couple of people. I reiterate I prefer the tested
methods of the cane and guide dog.

I beg your pardon, but these are things I have witnessed myself.  Please do 
not call me a liar.
