[nabs-l] a question about getting lost

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Does your aide still follow you around? If so, that needs to stop. By the 
time that I was in high school, I only saw my aide at the beginning of the 
day and the end of the day. The next time that someone tells you not to read 
the Braille on a door, tell them not to read the print on it.
