[Athen] Services for blind/visually impaired students

[Lucy GRECO]

This is not reasonable. One of the things students  learn  is independence
and if they need someone to walk them to class that is not independ
. also i bet if you ask the students they might not  want that themselves.
they should get connected with the  department of rehab as they can set
them up with orientation training and living skills. they might be better
off going to a blindness training center first to learn how to travel
independently lucy
