[nabs-l] Classes start Wednesday.

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Joshua,
Do you have a hearing impairment? If so, would hearing aids be
helpful, or would they just make it harder to hear?
As far as blindness goes, if blindness is your only issue, it seems
like getting an orientation to the controls the first time is all
that's necessary, unless the video program itself isn't accessible.
