[blparent] burping babies

[Dena Wainwright]

I think anyone blind can register for it. I would just go to the Hadley 
School for the Blind's website and read up on the class and registration 
info. You could also call them to talk about what you need in a class, and 
I'm sure they'd find a match for you. Also, someone on this list (I think 
it's Sharon) works for Hadley, so I'm sure she can tell you everything you 
need to know.
