[nfb-db] items to be placed on website

[Allison (NFBA)]

Hi,

Yes, I have an idea for the website.  Please include local and national
resources for learning the type of sign language used by the deaf-blind.  I
think it's called sign with tactile modifications?  I've had a difficult
time finding anywhere to learn it.  No one I've talked to seems to know
anything about it.  I called president Brown and she said that she didn't 
know of any either.  I have a long list of schools and agencies I
contacted that didn't have any info on deaf-blind communication.  It was
very frustrating and sad.  If I were a new parent with a deaf-blind child I
think I would be terrified after my fruitless search for resources.

Thanks,
Allison
