[blparent] school issue again

[Steve Jacobson]

All,

Again, my understanding is that Diana is blind but her child is not so her child cannot get a BookShare membership.  Textbooks are often made available 
from NIMAS, and there is possibly some additional restrictions because of that process.  However, it would be good to know for certain what the issues are, 
as blind parents should be able to get accessible copies of texts to assist their children.  There are some complexities here, though.  

Best regards,

Steve
