Dear Paula,
Oh my, that's a bad story if those units, which were disseminated by the Dept.
of Education, were never used. I know that there was extensive teacher
training done in Texas, but I don't know about Texas Tech specifically. I
would doubt that they were retained after all this time, but it would be worth
someone's checking. I wonder if Glenda Born is still with the Commission; it's
been a long time since I've been in touch with any Optacon teachers in TX.
