[nagdu] Ultrasonic mobility devices

[Marsha Drenth]

Are we talking about devices like the Mini-guide? I have used this, actually really like it. It takes some getting use to, but its helpful for the deafblind. Espically because I ccan't traffic, or hear students standing in the way. But no itwon't tell you if a seat is occupied or not. Wish it was that good.
