[nabs-l] Unrealistic expectations

[Kayla James]

Well, if you can't do the visual pictures, why not give the teacher an
alternative and try tactile pictures and demonstrate to her how you
can teach a child math with a tactile picture just as well as a person
with a visual picture. That way, the student can see what you're doing
and follow with his/her hands and so can you. Or, you could hire a
reader or assistant to help with the picture.
