[blindkid] Do blind kids need personal aides in school?/Sally

[Sally Thomas]

Leah,

She's in the Valley.  I wish everyone could have someone as enthusiastic as 
her on their side. There is a good advocate in Austin who might be able to 
help but it would cost you something to hire her.  If you want her 
information, contact me off line.

Sally
