[blindkid] blindkid Digest, Vol 99, Issue 22

[Trudy Pickrel]

I started by pointing out textures and difference between kaki and Jeans what emblem each shirt has and what color that shirt is.  Teaching what goes together. Brandon has a lot of his memorized. I then moved to putting sets together that match and have them help put away.  Some days you just have to close your eyes.

Our independence comes from within. A slave can have keen eyesight, excellent mobility, and superb reading skills?and still be a slave. We are achieving freedom and independence in the only way that really counts?in rising self-respect, growing self-confidence, and the will and the ability to make choices. Above all, independence means choices, and the power to make those choices stick.
