[nfb-db] nfb-db Digest, Vol 42, Issue 22

[Catherine Miller]

Kelli:  Wow, can you clone yourself?  We could use about a million copies.  It's so awesome to learn of someone who is so willing to help.  Of course, Janeice and Scott are right; but also know that there are deaf-blind communicators, of which the latest technology from Humanware works with an app from the iPhone.  There are more and more ways, including sign language used tactually, to communicate with the deaaf-blind.  Hang around, and share your thoughts with us as we take shape.  Cathy Miller
