[blparent] a different kind of cane

[Barbara Hammel]

Ours are the lowest functioning in our group.  Actually, the one lady who 
helps with the children during Saturday school has no problem with them 
using their canes.  Too bad we only have it once a month.
We'll just muddle along here and maybe one day it will click.  Jesse seems 
to finally be learning that if he puts his hands out they can protect 
him--either that or he just does it because we tell him to.
I'll be honest, the progress they make is slow but steady.  I wish they 
could just get it now.  I'm learning big lessons, about how I have no 
patience, with these two.
Barbara
