Hi Everyone,

Just got home from an IEP meeting in a town in New Jersey.  We're feeling pretty good because the school agreed to Braille!  We didn't even have to take out the big--Hank Miller case--guns!  It took almost two years to get them to put the program together, but the student is now learning how to type, how to use a computer with speech, how to take notes and direct a human reader, and now will begin to learn Braille!

We, the mom and I, are exhausted but happy :-).
