This is not a link, but information on a great newsletter you can sign up for. Ron and Penny Harness have a daughter who is blind. It's called "Our Common Bond." Here is some of what Ron has to say: "...Raising a child with special problems is one learning experience after another. In our search for help, we were eagerly assisted by medical professionals, therapists, family, strangers...actually anyone with an opinion...no one can accomplish more for a child than a parent who loves enough to fight for their child's rights. ..My wife & I created a small newsletter to share experiences & information..." You can email RONHAR@AOL.com, to sign up for the newsletter.
