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

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

Good morning. I must confess that I was not able to see the program on Monday. Is there a site on which I can view it, without having to download additional software to my work computer, for which I do not have administrative permission?

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.
