[blParent] Braille Transcribers and Audio Book Readers

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Thanks for the input. This particular ABLE has been around since the late 1950's early 1960's... So they do have an established name in WI and I don't think they will be changing it.

When seeing that we were using the name Able for our organization someone highly suggested that we change it. Able is the name of the largest industrial cleaning company in the country, and buys up most of the first lines in Google. If it’s a new company she may want to consider adapting or expanding it.
