[nabs-l] accommodations in public school

[Beth]

You could use an eye exam results thing.  You need to see an
ophthalmologist, someone qualified to look at your eyes.  Using E
chart results will put enough pressure on the school.  Then, what you
need to do is talk to an organization like NFB who can help try to
pressure the school into allowing you to have audio books and so on.
