[nabs-l] Exclusion of blind persons with secondary disabilities

[Sarah J. Blake]

I'd like to see the entire program description. I communicated with BJ 
(RRRTC director) about the possibility of attending their Master's degree 
program. She (wisely) advised me against it because of my medical issues. MS 
State is located 90 miles from a major cityy. If I had medical needs which 
became serious--and I sometimes do--it would be challenging to get them met 
appropriately.

Unfortunately, some issues which appear to be discriminatory are not. When 
dealing with blindness and additional disabilities, there are very important 
things to consider. The ability to meet the needs imposed by the particular 
disability is a significant issue that should not be discounted.
