[nfb-db] rules in the ASLlab

[Steve Jacobson]

Explain more how you are taking this class?  How are you getting the information being conveyed in general?  It would seem as 
though there must be something that could be worked out with the instructor to signal when you don't get something without 
speaking?  This is an interesting dilema since it could affect any blind person taking a course like this.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
