[Perform-Talk] Question

[Leslie Hamric]

I've been working with this student since they were six years old. And they're now 13. This TVI does not know braille music and the IE people pee people wanted to Have him assess her. I'm glad that he said no. Because he's not comfortable assessing her on something he doesn't know. But then when you try to ask them for a solution, there were been in the wheels and running around in circles about it.
