Available for free or not, I would have liked a resource like this for
deafness when My son was first diagnosed. I might not put down the cash now
as after nine years I have a network of resources to start with. This might
also be a useful resource to someone thinking of relocating and not wanting
to have to start gathering new information.

Just some thoughts on why this might be a useful resource for some.

She has done this for several states.  Some people may find it convenient to
have everything in one place, especially if you are newly blinded, or just
found out that your kid is blind.  As I said, she has done it for several
states, if there is a market then she will prosper, if not ......
