Does the following job description give an indication.

Can you imagine BS4BP hiring the blind, given their attitude and philosophy
they demonstrate about blindness, when it comes to the safety and security
of blind youth?

The Student Assistant acts as a facilitator for after hour recreational
activities
with Training Center students, including the under age and young

Would these be the persons who are serving as receptionists at the Training
Center?  Or  will the Center continue to employ the student assistants who
were working with young people in the evenings during the summer months?  I
do not have an answer, merely wondering.
