[Blindtlk] Out Of Sight, seeing through the eyes of kids who are blind.

Our concern what that her nose was pressed up against the screen. I did use a CCTV at one point but moved to other options, because my neck and back were killing me, and then finally I switched all together.
Again, it was just an observation.
