We have a recent immigrant to our little town and we are looking for some assistance. Her fist language is Arabic and she has little, if any, literacy in her native language. The REALLY difficult part is that she has a disability. She is blind. This immediately cuts out a large portion of the available resources. Any suggestions fromt the mass intellect on what can be done, other than having a translater assist her in the "this is what this means" format? Thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate this forum!
