[blindkid] help for blind/autistic 14 yr old

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Tom & Debbie,

You may already have seen this, but Jay Gense and Marilyn Gense wrote 
a book called

Autism Spectrum Disorders and Visual Impairment:


Meeting Students' Learning Needs.  I have not read it myself so 
cannot say if it is a good one, but you might want to take a look if 
you haven't already.  it's available here:

The Gense's teach in Oregon.  Perhaps that would be a good place to 
move to :-).

I wish you good luck in your search.
