[nabs-l] Blind and Visually Impaired Teen Group on Facebook!

[Serena]

Good point, peter, although many blind people use Facebook, so, I guess 
that's why NFB decided to use it as the place to have the teen group. 
Thanks for pointing out the problem for deaf-blind people.  No wonder my 
deaf-blind friend doesn't use it!
