Andrea, I have a colleague who used to give a presentation called, "Of Blind Mechanics and Hemophiliac Industrial Arts Teachers I Have Known." He said that, in truth, he had only known one of each, but it was enough to teach him never to make assumptions! I wonder if your blind student ever was able to find a "niche" position, doing well the things he COULD do well. That's always the key, even for those of us without disabilities. Dr. Jane Jarrow
