in short, and from their website:

information or functions as a clearinghouse, directing individuals to 
other appropriate resources.

This service assists people with disabilities to understand their rights 
and responsibilities under various federal and state laws dealing with 
housing,
employment, education, community access, recreation, transportation, 
family and lifestyle.

Independent Living Skills Training

This Is the sharing of any information or support which enables 
individuals to function as independently as possible, in the community.

Peer Support

This service is provided by people with disabilities who may be staff 
members, consumers, or other individuals who are in a position to be of 
assistance
as a result of their own life experiences.

Transition

When the concept of transition was introduced into the federal law hip 
responded in two ways:

• Services for students with disabilities are provided to facilitate 
their seamless transition from their school program to the world of 
adult services which includes training in self-advocacy, independent 
living skills and support coordination in conjunction with the NJ 
Division of Developmental Disabilities.

• Individuals in institutional settings may benefit from counseling to 
assist in making the transition back into the community.

I feel like an idiot, and should probably know this, but what does Hip 
do?  Where they located, etc?

Hello Tracy,
Hip does this all the time, not sure of what the price would be but can 
certainly get them a discounted rate.  We braille so many things besides 
college, high school and grammar school books. We have even done stuff 
for Stevie Wonder!

Sorry if this is off-topic.
A friend of mine who is a lawyer is looking for someone to transcribe a 
will into braille.  She doesn’t know how long the will is.  It could be 
anywhere from 4 pages to 20.
She says the document is in Word or WordPerfect.
Anyone know a transcriber, or can do the job themselves?
I’m sure it’s a paying gig.
Tracy
