sufficient vision to sometimes use visual media under certain
circumstances (i.e., large print or regular print with
magnification), it is necessary to clarify that the use of, and
instruction in, Braille does not exclude the use of, or
instruction in, print reading and writing.
      3. There must be a "default" position for this service
because it is intertwined with the basic literacy skills of
reading and writing.  This note defines the "default" in a manner
consistent with the distinctive and unique language and procedures
outlined for this special factor as opposed to the other special
factors in the same section.
      This concludes our comments.  Thank you again for the
opportunity to be a part of this process.  If you have any
questions or concerns about any of these comments, please let me
know.  My office phone number is (410) 659-9314 and my home number
is (410) 747-3472.
                               Cordially yours,
