Subject: kindergatener in Ohio with albinism


Hi there!  My daughter has oculo-cutaneous albinism and was adopted from India 2 years ago.  She will start kindergarten this fall after 2 years of preschool.  Our oldest daughter is in a Christian school and this school very much wants to work with us for Madhuri (our 5 year old).  The bad thing is the TVI is $900 a month for a couple of visits a month and the school doesn't take federal funds so we are trying to figure out if there is a way to find monies out there for this or if we need to send her to public school.  It would break our heart for our girls not to be together and would be rough on the family with different school schedules.  Anyway, any guidance in where to look, ask, fill out papers.......would be wonderful!  Thanks so much!  Domini Cook
