[nabs-l] blind students in ASL courses

[Briley Pollard]

Hello,

Have you contacted the Deafblind division of the NFB? While this student isn't deafblind himself, I think they would have excellent suggestions as to how to accommodate the blind student for this course.

This resource list may be of some use to you. 
Hope this helps.
