[nabs-l] A Guide for helping students with visual disabilities

[Suzanne Germano]

To start with their definitions are wrong


They have legally blind as:
"Legal blindness is defined as having corrected visual acuity between
20/100 and 20/200 or having a visual field of 20 degrees or less."

The correct definition is a corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or lower. I
don't recall the exact field for the definition.
