[The Pawpower Pack]

Marsha, 
Mostly I teach Braille, but I do teach telecommunications devices such as iPhone, iPad, and the like to Deafblind clients and some blind hearing clients. I also teach Activities of deaily living to clients who are Deafblind. 
It's great to see you hear.

This is in any place which is not quiet and where I can't be face to face.  I also have Laveau, my guide/hearing/mobility assistance dog and an in-home hearing and mobility dog Mill'E.
