[nabs-l] blind person becoming a teacher

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Chris, this is Helga. I just wanted to tell you that I'm interested in 
learning the French language. Do you know, where I can learn it, or who can 
teach me the language? I will really appreciate it if you could give me some 
suggestions. Thanks and God bless!!

Kelsey,

If you are interested in teaching French in the public schools, I can
put you in touch with a blind person who has done this successfully
for over 30 years. Please write me off-list if you are interested in
talking with him.
