Jaime, So you will share the final paper written from this draft, right? I have worked with the blind and have employed the deaf. So this is a paper of interest to me, especially your personal experience. I like the structure of your paper and look forward to the final draft. Lots of truth in this. I'm legally blind in one eye and have always practiced in my home, just in case. Also, I have tried to comprehend the world of both deaf and blind and always felt it was beyond my grasp. I really enjoy the fact that you are a member of this website. Keep up the good work. Larry C If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |
