>> While Iowa's "Braille and Sight Saving School" isn't one of those that

>> implementing learning programs for both on campus and off campus
>> students, and is an integral part of the community there in Vancouver.
>> Dr. Stenehjem deserves a lot of credit for his work to keep the school
>> relevant. We all were extremely angry when the Oregon State legislature

>> her child (I think) has another severe disability unrelated to the

>> So, what we can and must do is to watch to make sure this trend doesn't
