Re: Tutoring blind/vision impaired students

Rob,

I just had a meeting yesterday with our Accessabilties Coordinator about 
doing a workshop for my staff on working with blind, deaf, impaired, and 
LD students. I also plan to incorporate this issue in my tutor training 
course (once I become more educated).  Do you have a similar office on your 
campus that deals with accessability issues? It's a great starting point.
