[blindkid] Urgent: please sign this petition to help a blind kid!

[DrV]

Hi Beth,
What is the issue?
Why can't he attend?
When my elder son was little we drove him to the Blind Children Center in
Los Angeles & it didn't cost us anything. We did pay for gas. Our school
district didn't have a problem with it.
Is the recommendation written into his IEP?
The California School for the Blind does outreach assessments - we have
found their input to be incredibly helpful at times where we needed some
outside expert recommendations.
Best wishes,
EricV
