[Athen] Services for blind/visually impaired students

[Susan Kelmer]

The only thing we would do is arrange an Orientation and Mobility Specialist who would work with them for a few weeks until they are ready to do it on their own.  Getting them to all their classes would not be the responsibility of the DSS office.

Good afternoon.
We are expecting brother and sister for the Fall who are visually impaired.   The father is asking if a guide can be provided to get them to each class, daily.
Once in class, they will be fine, he stated.

Have you experienced this request before?  They have apps on their phones for help of location/building, they have walking canes, the sister is getting a guide dog but not sure when.

Thank you in advance.
